Mixed bag conditions and overall early season, shallow snowpack with plenty of grass and obstacles protruding through. Pretty good for this time of year though, especially considering the last two years. Snow depth ranges from a about a foot at Dalton Springs Trailhead to around 30" near North Creek/ Cooley Pass. Low snow hasn't prevented enthusiastic riders from getting after it.
Isolated, stiff wind slabs exist on the lee sides of terrain features. Averaging less than 18" deep, most have gained strength and would be difficult to trigger.
Weak, faceted layers do exist in the snowpack, but without sufficient load, the current threat of avalanche is very isolated. Snowpack is still well anchored in all but the most isolated of circumstances.
