Quick reportDylan Craaybeek · Mar 21, 2026 · Aspen
Weather
Clear, hot, light breeze with some moderate gusts.
Snowpack
Some minor cracking in the wet snow on near treeline east-facing slopes around 10:00 AM. On due north around 10,000 feet water has only made it about 15-20cm deep into the snowpack and extended column tests are still showing propagating failures in the depth hoar. Water made it notably deeper into the snowpack as soon as you wrap to northeast and then on east and southeast the snowpack is composed of melt forms top to bottom.
Avalanche
Observed many natural wet avalanches that were not here 2 days ago.
