Avalanches are unlikely but a dusting of snow over a hard crust can make for difficult travel and increase the consequences of slips or tumbles on steep terrain.
Summary
Confidence
Moderate - Forecast snowfall amounts are uncertain.

Avalanche Summary
A thick surface crust has effectively eliminated avalanche concerns in the region.
Snowpack Summary
A skiff of new snow sits over a thick, supportive surface crusts at all elevations.
Treeline snow depths in advance of the storm were around 80-100 cm but rain has eroded some of this. Much of treeline and almost all below treeline elevations are still below threshold depths for avalanches.
Terrain and Travel
- When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
- A crust on the surface will help bind the snow together, but may make for tough travel conditions.
