Cautiously assess conditions as you travel - the fresh snow may produce reactive slabs or, more likely, hide early season hazards.
Above the snow-rain line, up to 20 cm fresh snow accumulated with strong winds overnight, expect the most reactive deposits in open or wind-loaded areas.
Observations are limited at this time of year. No new avalanches have been reported or observed. If you do head into the backcountry consider submitting a MIN report!
A variable snowpack depth of between 20-100 cm exists in the region. Expect early season conditions and rugged travel. Below treeline is below the threshold for avalanches.
