Description
Avalanche conditions are almost as quiet as they get. Wind drifts that formed earlier in the week during strong northwest wind are now stubborn and welded into place. Widespread sluffing of the near surface facets earlier in the week is much diminished now after the wind created crusts and redistributed snow on many slopes.
