No new avalanches have been reported.
A variety of snow surfaces exist at higher elevations, including firm wind affected surfaces, hard crusts and loose powder snow (primarily in sheltered north facing terrain).
Large, fragile cornices can be found on exposed ridgelines and should be given a wide berth.
Below roughly 1300 m anticipate a widespread, supportive crust to deteriorate through the day with warming and solar effect.
