    A weak layer from early December is down 70 to 110 cm. This problem remains a concern for rider triggering in shallow rocky areas in the alpine.

No new avalanches have been reported in the region since Sunday.

Snowpack Summary

Moderate to strong northeast outflow wind has heavily impacted the snow surface in exposed terrain. In sheltered terrain 20 to 40 cm of faceted snow overlies a layer of facets and a crust from late January.

A layer of facets and crust from early December is buried approximately 70 to 110 cm deep.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avoid steep, rocky, and wind-affected areas where triggering slabs is more likely.
  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.
  • Avoid shallow, rocky areas where the snowpack transitions from thick to thin.
