Snowpack Discussion
20-40cm of settled snow overlies a variety of surfaces from facets, hard wind slabs, and sun crust. Some of this recent snow has turned into localized wind slabs. It will take a bit of time for this new snow to bond with this interface. The mid pack is overall decent, mostly consisting of facet layers that were not reactive before the storm. Snow depths vary from 80-150cm depending on elevation.
Avalanche Activity
No avalanches were observed in the Tent Bowl area or along the Spray.
