Sunny, calm and too warm for December.

Snowpack

The upper snowpack continues to weaken under our current prolonged dry spell, especially in areas with less than a meter of snow. Dry loose slides could be easily initiated on steep shady slopes, mostly just involving the top 8"-10" of snow sliding on either a firm crust or supportive mid-pack layer.
