Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches have been reported.
Snowpack Summary
A robust crust exists on the snow surface up to mountain tops. In some areas, up to 5 cm of recent, dry snow may sit atop the crust.
Where snow still exists below treeline, it is isothermal or refrozen, and travel is very challenging.

Terrain and Travel Advice
- When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
- Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.
