Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported. Going forward we expect small avalanches within the surface snow, as it is not expected to bond well with the crust below.

If you go into the backcountry, please submit your observations to the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

In southern areas, light accumulations of heavy/wet snow overlies a widespread crust on the surface at higher elevations. Softer surface snow is found at lower elevations due to above-freezing temperatures and light rain.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally settled and strong with no concerns at this time.
