Avalanche Forecast

High

• We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

No recent avalanches have been reported.

A hard surface crust extends to mountain top on all aspects and elevations. The crust may break down during daytime warming.

Cornices are reported to be large and looming. Be mindful of them overhead or when traveling on ridgetops.

The snowpack is generally well settled and strong, with no current layers of concern.

• Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
• A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
• Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
• The snowpack is generally stable; it may be appropriate to step out into more complex terrain.
