Lo esencial

Continually assess your local conditions. Expect natural avalanche activity to increase throughout the day on steep, sun-exposed slopes.

    Expect both natural and human-triggered avalanches to become more likely throughout the day on steep, sun-exposed slopes. This is particularly true in areas where fresh snow lies atop the widespread crust.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

Snowpack Summary

Expect to find anywhere from 0 to 20 cm of new snow atop a widespread melt-freeze crust. The remainder of the snowpack, below the crust, is generally settled and well-bonded.

Below treeline, slopes are largely below the threshold for avalanches.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Make observations and assess conditions continually as you travel.
  • When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
  • Minimize exposure to sun-exposed slopes when the solar radiation is strong.
  • Watch for wind-loaded pockets especially around ridgecrest and in extreme terrain.
