Subject: West’s near Elkton
Avalanches:
Several recent avalanches observed from Sunday evening’s frontal passage and/or Monday’s winds
Weather: Cool, sunny, light winds
Snowpack: West aspects still holding Persistent Slab structure below treeline, thought the slab is strong and presently unreactive. Water on these structures will become a concern when the time comes.
