Kernpunkte

Higher elevations may hold dry, wind affected snow - watch for wind slabs near ridgelines.

    New snow accumulations in high alpine areas may remain reactive to human triggers. This problem won't exist where a crust exists on the surface.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about alpine conditions due to limited field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported, however a small natural cycle may have taken place at higher elevations with new snow/wind/rain.

Snowpack Summary

Light snow continues to fall at higher elevations, reaching 10-35 cm total. Rain will likely affect saturated snow/ground at lower elevations.

There is very little snow below treeline.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.
