Snowpack Discussion

A thin cust is likely to have formed over up to 20 cm of recent snow at upper elevations. This snow overlies a robust crust everywhere except northerly aspects in the alpine.

Most terrain has undergone strong melt-freeze cycles, creating a strong, well bonded snowpack.

Avalanche Activity

On Wednesday, there was a large cornice failure that triggered a wet loose avalanche out of extreme terrain.

Observations are limited at this time of year.
