Snowpack Discussion
Up to 20 cm of recent snow overlies a crust everywhere except northerly aspects in the alpine where a layer of small surface hoar may be present. Recent snowfall amounts taper with elevation.
Below this is a moist upper snowpack.
The primary weak layer of concern is a surface hoar, facet, and crust layer from early March, buried 60 to 120 cm deep.
The lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong in most areas.
Avalanche Activity
On Tuesday, a naturaly triggered size 3 and a cornice triggered size 2.5 persistent slabs were reported on northerly aspects in the alpine near Blue River.
There have been several recent cornice falls triggering very large persistent slabs in this region.
NOTE: Observations in this region are currently very limited.
