Lo esencial
Avalanches aren’t expected, but firm surfaces and slip and slide potential are making backcountry travel challenging
Confidence
High
- Confidence is due to a stable weather pattern; little change is expected for several days.
Avalanche Summary
There are no new avalanche observations. Avalanche activity is considered unlikely until the current weather pattern shifts.
Snowpack Summary
A firm surface crust caps the snowpack, softening slightly each day from direct sunshine.
Deeper in the snowpack, a handful of crust and facet layers persist, though none are affecting stability at this time.
