Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center

Deep and stable snowpack despite 3" of SWE the previous 5 days.

The SH layer isn't widespread, but can be found on sheltered slopes. It still holds the potential to produce avalanches. CPST 30/100 end @ 122 cm's

Upper 4" of storm slab very reactive to ski cuts on rollovers, especially where there is slight wind effect. Ski triggered D1 storm slabs. Otherwise good stability in this pit. Possible previous skier track/traffic down 40-60cm.

Wind slabs were the main concern. Otherwise the snowpack was mostly stable.
