Snowpack
The snow from last week has settled into a dense layer near the ground and has developed a moderately stiff crust on steeper southerly slopes. More recent snowfall was lower density and increased the total HS in most open terrain to 10-14". Wind drifted snow on leeward ridges and terrain features are forming slabs over 100cm thick. These are isolated and soft, but should warrant caution.
