Snowpack Discussion

10 to 25 cm of soft snow is covering a hard crust. At upper elevations, this newer snow has been blown by variable winds, creating wind slabs on lee slopes.

These slabs should bond quickly within the next few days. If you observe blowing snow, it indicates that new slabs are forming, and areas where the snow is accumulating should be avoided.

The mid and lower snowpack are not concerning at this time, and are made up of various hard layers and crusts.

Avalanche Activity

No recent avalanches have been reported.
