Snowpack Discussion

While there is some snow in the Alpine, the key word is some! We are still below threshold in most areas and really the only place there is snow is in the Alpine.

Gullies or ridgelines are the places where snow will slowly accumulate so keep an eye on terrain as you travel through it.

Avalanche Activity

No recent avalanches have been observed.
