Avoid avalanche terrain during periods of heavy snow or rain.

Avalanche problems

    Very Likely
    Size
    1–2

    Storm slabs will continue to build through the day. Expect hazard to increase as you find deeper snow. We are unsure how well the new snow will bond with the underlying crust.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to variable freezing levels.
  • We are uncertain about forecast precipitation amounts.
  • We are uncertain if precipitation will fall as rain or snow.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported in the area.

Snowpack Summary

New snow falls on a widespread crust at all elevations. In the thicker forested areas you may find isothermal snow.

The mid/lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong.

Snowpack depth ranges between 100 to 250 cm at treeline elevations.
