Kootenay Boundary

A surface crust has made for generally safe avalanche conditions.

A few small (size 1) wet loose avalanches were reported on Monday.

A dusting of snow can be found above a widespread melt-freeze crust. Surfaces may melt on sun-exposed slopes throughout the day.

The snowpack is strong and bonded.
