Snowpack Discussion
The incoming storm snow will fall on a variety of surfaces. Surface hoar in wind-sheltered terrain at treeline and below, a thin melt-freeze on south-facing slopes, and old storm snow at higher elevations. A crust can be found down 5-30 cm. The mid and lower snowpack is well-settled with no layers of concern.
Avalanche Activity
No new avalanches have been reported in the last 2 days. A natural avalanche cycle is expected this weekend.
