A melt-freeze crust is expected on all slopes that saw the sun on Sunday and low-elevation shaded slopes.

In sheltered spots at treeline, 5 to 10 cm of snow may be sitting on large surface hoar crystals.

The most prominent of several melt-freeze crusts in the lower snowpack is 100 - 120 cm deep and decomposing.

Snowpack depth is around 100 to 140 cm at treeline and decreases rapidly below about 1500 m.
