Snowpack Discussion
Between 20-40 cm of recent snow lays at the surface. The latest winds have left alpine and treeline slopes with pockets of heavily deposited snow or wind-affected snow. Earlier this week, many signs of instabilities were reported in the upper snowpack. Further deep, there are reports of a thick melt-freeze crust. At around 1000 m the snowpack reaches a depth of around 70 cm.
Lower treeline and below treeline elevation are still below the threshold for avalanches.
Avalanche Activity
No new avalanches have been reported in our area lately, and there have been few people reporting observations. If you're heading out to the backcountry, please check for current conditions on the MIN or consider posting after your day. It helps strengthen our information gathering.
