Exercise caution in areas that receive new snow, especially at higher elevations where winds may redistribute the snow into deeper slabs.
In areas, new snow and wind may form thin wind slabs at higher elevations. These may be a particular concern when overlaying a smooth melt-freeze crust.
No recent avalanche activity has been reported. However, field observations are currently very limited.
Anticipate crusty snow surfaces in all but north-facing alpine terrain.
Some areas will receive new snow overnight, which may be redistributed into thin wind slabs at higher elevations.
A series of crusts exist in the upper snowpack.
