recent activity

There was no significant avalanche activity observed or reported on Monday. There was evidence of natural avalanche activity that occurred during the storm. These were not large avalanches and were mostly confined to drifts and cornices failing near the higher ridgelines. On Monday, these fresh drifts were much more stubborn than during the storm and the stability of the new snow seemed good.

Below, typical avalanche activity that occurred during the storm:
