While conditions are generally safe, watch for avalanches in extreme terrain or steep wind-loaded slopes.
Be proactive and assess the snowpack, as observations are very limited this time of year. Testing a small slope that's similar to a larger slope you want to ride is a good place to start.
Small wet loose avalanches may be possible on steep slopes, sheltered from the wind.
No new avalanches have been reported in the last 7 days.
Please consider sharing any observations you have on the Mountain Information Network.
A melt-freeze crust is expected on all slopes that saw the sun on Sunday and low-elevation shaded slopes.
In sheltered spots at treeline, 5 to 10 cm of snow may be sitting on large surface hoar crystals.
The most prominent of several melt-freeze crusts in the lower snowpack is 100 - 120 cm deep and decomposing.
Snowpack depth is around 100 to 140 cm at treeline and decreases rapidly below about 1500 m.
