Avalanche Summary
No recent avalanches have been reported. Information from the field is limited at this time of year. If you are recreating in the mountains please consider submitting a MIN report.
Snowpack Summary
The snowpack is generally very shallow and contains many potential hazards just beneath the snow surface.
At higher elevations, deeper, wind-loaded pockets of snow may sit atop a weak, facetted basal snowpack.
At treeline, the height of snow ranges from approximately 50 to 100 cm. As you descend to lower elevations, snow depths decrease significantly.

- Winter conditions may exist in gullies, alpine bowls, and around ridgelines.
- If it's deep enough to ride, it's deep enough to slide (avalanche).
