Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported since last week.

Snowpack Summary

Approximately 10 to 30 cm of new snow sits atop a variety of surfaces. These old surfaces include sun crusts on south-facing slopes, old wind slabs in exposed terrain, and up to 20 cm of soft, faceted snow on sheltered north-facing terrain.

The mid and lower pack contains deteriorating old crusts and storm layers that are now for the most part dense, homogenous, and moist.

Below treeline, most areas are below the threshold for forming avalanches.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • The more the snow feels like a slurpy, the more likely loose wet avalanches will become.
  • Even a small avalanche can be harmful if it pushes you into an obstacle or a terrain trap.
