The Abajo Mountains are white with a snowpack exceeding 200% for this time of year. Camp Jackson has over 5' of snow on the ground with much more likely at upper elevations around North Creek and Cooley Pass. Generally speaking, the snowpack is showing signs of gaining strength with the November persistent weak layer now buried far below the surface. This layer cannot be completely discounted however, especially on steep northerly facing slopes and in thinner snowpack areas where the weak layer can be more easily affected by the weight of a skier or rider. Wind loaded slopes also remain a concern. Wind drifts are recognizable by their smooth, rounded appearance, and cracking is a sign of instability. In some areas, a triggered wind slab may step down to the buried persistent weak layer causing a deeper and more dangerous avalanche. Continue to avoid steep, wind drifted slopes.
