Expect the upper snowpack to deteriorate and become reactive with daytime warming and solar effects.

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

Despite the low danger rating, the likelihood of triggering an avalanche could increase throughout the day with warming and strong solar radiation expected.

Please consider submitting to the Mountain Information Network if you are getting out in the backcountry.

Generally, a widespread melt-freeze crust exists on the surface across most aspects, except for north-facing alpine terrain, where dry powder snow remains.

In isolated areas, a dusting of recent snow may exist atop the crust.
