Snowpack Discussion
Up to 20 cm of recent snow may be found at upper elevations. This snow overlies a thick crust everywhere except northerly aspects at in the alpine. Recent westerly wind may have formed small wind slabs on lee aspects in the alpine.
While weak layers lower in the snowpack have been a concern throughout the season, the current lack of avalanche activity and benign weather suggest they are not a concern at this time. They could become problematic again this spring when temperature rises significantly.
Avalanche Activity
On Tuesday, there were several small natural dry loose avalanches when the recent snow saw the sun.
On Monday, several small skier-triggered wind slabs were reported on lee aspects in the alpine.
NOTE: Observations are currently very limited.
