Snowpack Discussion

Dry snow is still found on shaded north and east facing alpine terrain. On sun-exposed slopes at all elevations the moist or wet snow surface is at various stages of refreezing.

The mid and lower snowpack is well consolidated, with several well-bonded crusts scattered throughout.

Snow depth has been reported as 330 cm at 1700 m, tapering quickly at lower elevations below treeline.

Watch this week's North Shore Conditions for more info.
