Approach recently wind-affected terrain with caution. Light snow and continued wind are likely forming fresh wind slabs.
Light snowfall and ongoing southwest wind continue to form fresh wind slabs at higher elevations. Steep slopes below ridgecrests and in cross-loaded features remain the most likely place to trigger an avalanche.
No recent avalanches have been reported. However, observations are very limited.
If you are heading into the backcountry, please share any observations with the Mountain Information Network.
Small amounts of snow continue to accumulate, accompanied by moderate to strong alpine winds from the southwest. Roughly 25 to 50 cm of recent snow has buried old wind-affected surfaces, crusts, or firm, settled snow.
The remainder of the snowpack is consolidated with no layers of concern.
