Avalanche Summary

Small (size 1) human-triggered slab avalanches were reported over the weekend. These slabs have likely stabilized in most areas.

Snowpack Summary

Recent storm snow (30 to 100 cm) has likely settled and bonded, but small wind slabs may be possible on north and west-facing alpine features. Snow coverage remains thin at lower elevations.
