We haven't received any reports of recent avalanche activity.
Please consider submitting your observations to the MIN if you head to the backcountry.
New snow will accumulate onto a hard melt-freeze crust except for shady high alpine slopes, where it will fall onto soft faceted snow over a hard crust. Thicker deposits could accumulate in lee terrain features near mountain tops.
Weak faceted grains above a hard crust that formed in early February is buried about 50 to 110 cm deep. This layer is currently dormant.
