No new avalanches have been reported since before last weekend.

If you see wind transporting snow, there may be small wind slabs.

Please consider submitting your observations to the Mountain Information Network.

Up to 25 cm of snow overlies a crust from rain last week. At upper elevations, this has likely been redistributed by the wind.

The remainder of the snowpack is strong, with various hard layers and crusts.
