There is 1-3 feet of snow on slopes facing west through north and east at the mid and upper elevations. Clear skies over the past week have weakened the snowpack and on many northerly slopes, the entire snowpack has become faceted and unsupportable. But in some spots, there remains a stronger, more cohesive slab on top of weak facets near the ground and it is on these slopes where the possibility of triggering an avalanche - although unlikely - remains.

For now, the weak snow found on northerly aspects is not an issue, but it will become a problem once we receive a large enough load of new snow. Read more on this faceting process below.
