Snowpack Discussion

Up to 10 cm of recent snow may be found on northerly aspects in the alpine.

A typical spring diurnal pattern is in effect: daytime warming moistens the upper snowpack, while overnight cooling usually forms a hard crust at higher elevations.

Lower elevations may not refreeze and are experiencing an all-melt, no freezescenario and melting out quickly.

Avalanche Activity

No recent avalanche reports, but observations are very limited.

If you're heading into the backcountry, please share what you see on the Mountain Information Network.
