Snowpack Discussion
Dry, settled powder may still be found on high north-facing slopes, while elsewhere, a daily melt-freeze cycle is creating a hard crust overnight that softens during the day.
An old persistent weak layer may still be present 100 to 150 cm below the surface on high north-facing slopes, but it is rounding and unreactive under current conditions.
Treeline elevations still hold over 200 cm of snow, but coverage is rapidly thinning at lower elevations.
Avalanche Activity
A few small loose wet avalanches have been observed in recent days and will likely continue during periods of sun.
