Snowpack Discussion
20 to 40 cm of new snow now hides the old heavily wind affected snow, with some slopes stripped from recent strong southerly winds.
In sheltered areas, a crust from early December sits below 20 to 80 cm of settling snow. This layer has produced avalanche activity and shown reactivity on testing. However, observations are limited in this region and the reactivity or distribution of this is not well understood.
There are no current deeper layers of concern.
Data is very limited in this region, please submit MIN reports if you head into the mountains. Any data or photos are helpful!
Avalanche Activity
No new avalanches have been recently reported.
If you are out in the backcountry consider submitting your observations to the MIN.
