Snowpack Discussion

A thin surface crust is expected to cover up to 25 cm of recent snow at upper elevations. This snow overlies a robust crust buried around 20 to 30 cm, which is everywhere except northerly aspects in the alpine.

The mid and lower snowpack has no layers of concern.

Avalanche Activity

Wet loose avalanches have been occurring daily on steep slopes facing the sun. Mostly small, but some large avalanches (size 2 to 3).
