A thick melt-freeze crust covers the snow surface at all elevations with the exception of shaded north facing alpine terrain where dry snow may still be found.
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.
