Snowpack Discussion
Flurries starting late Friday night accumulated into 10-30 cm fresh snow around the region. This covered older snow in most terrain and surface hoar in sheltered locations.
Recent snow overlies covers a hard melt-freeze crust up to 1600 m and isolated pockets of surface hoar crystals in wind-sheltered openings at treeline and above.
There are currently no deeper layers of concern.
Avalanche Activity
No new avalanches reported since Sunday. Incoming precipitation and wind will create small windslabs in alpine and treeline elevations.
Observations remain limited in this region. If you head into the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations to the Mountain Information Network (MIN)!n the alpine and treeline elevations.
