North Rockies

Low danger does not mean no avalanches.

Use Caution in wind effected terrain.

Continue to use good travel habits; only expose one person at a time and avoid unnecessary overhead hazards.

No new avalanches have been reported in the past few days.

Around 5 cm of new snow has buried a variety of surfaces including surface hoar  and facets in sheltered terrain, a crust on south and west facing slopes as well as old wind slab on exposed terrain.

The widespread crust buried in early February is near the surface on exposed alpine terrain and down up to 25 cm elsewhere. This crust may have a layer of facets above.

The remainder of the snowpack is settled and not concerning.
