Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

If you do head into the backcountry please consider submitting observations and/or photos on the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

Around 5 to 10 cm of moist snow overlies 10 to 20 cm of consolidated snow. All of this shows a good bond to a hard melt-freeze crust that it overlies.

In north-facing terrain protected from the wind, you may find a buried layer of surface hoar approximately 20 cm deep, which shows some reactivity in snowpack tests.

Overall, the snow depth remains shallow, early season hazards are prevalent at 1400 m and below.
