Be cautious in steep, wind-affected terrain where triggering slabs is most likely.

Moderate

• We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

No new avalanches have been reported in the past few days.

If you head out in the backcountry, let us know what you're seeing by submitting a MIN report.

Up to 10 cm of new snow overlies heavily wind-affected surfaces in open areas at all elevations. Up to 50 cm of soft snow can be found in sheltered areas.

A mid-February crust or facet layer sits 50 to 70 cm deep, and the late January crust/surface hoar layer is buried 50 to 100 cm deep. These layers have shown no recent reactivity.

Facets or depth hoar exist at the base of the snowpack and may be a concern in inland areas, where the snowpack is generally shallower.
