Avalanche Forecast
The snowpack remains below the threshold in many areas, keep an eye out for buried obstacles.
Where there is enough snow to ride assess local conditions carefully.

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.

Terrain and Travel Advice
- Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.
- 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).
