Terrain and Travel Advice
- The snowpack is generally stable; it may be appropriate to step out into more complex terrain.
- A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
- Use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where even small avalanches may have severe consequences.
