Snowpack Discussion

New snow is falling on a variety of crystals that it may not bond well to. Including surface hoar in open, sheltered terrain, sun crusts, and wind-affected snow. However, rain at the beginning of the storm may have helped the new snow to stick.

Below the new storm snow, the snowpack is well-settled, dense, and generally strong.

Treeline snow depths range from 100 to 150 cm.

Avalanche Activity

No new avalanches have been reported since Friday.
