Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

If you are headed into the backcountry please consider submitting a MIN report.

Snowpack Summary

Snow surfaces are highly variable; in exposed terrain at higher elevations, previously wind-affected snow exists, while a crust is present on most south-facing slopes and lower elevations.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally well-settled and bonded with no layers of concern.

Terrain and Travel Advice

If you are increasing your exposure to avalanche terrain, do it gradually as you gather information.
Use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where even small avalanches may have severe consequences.
Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
