Travel cautiously, as the snowpack remains shallow. Even small avalanches can pose serious hazards when terrain traps such as cliffs are present.

Avalanche Summary
No avalanches have been reported. However, observations are limited.
If you're heading out into the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations on the MIN.
Snowpack Summary
Above treeline, an estimated 15 to 25 cm of dry snow sits on a thick crust that extends to the ground. The snowpack is around 30 to 60 cm deep in the alpine, and shrinks rapidly below treeline.
In wind exposed areas, soft snow has likely been redistributed into lee features.
