North Rockies

Continue to practice safe travel habits in the backcountry.

As the wind increases small wind slabs may build at ridgetop.

• Avoid shallow, rocky areas where the snowpack transitions from thick to thin.
• Be carefull around freshly wind loaded features.

No new avalanches have been reported but information is limited.

Please consider submitting your observations to the MIN if you head to the backcountry.

5 to 20 cm of recent snow sits on a hard melt-freeze crust except for shady high alpine slopes, where it sits on faceted snow over a hard crust. Thicker deposits may exist in lee terrain features near mountain tops.

A layer of weak faceted grains above a hard crust that formed in early February is buried about 50 to 110 cm deep. This layer is currently dormant.
