A widespread surface crust is creating stable avalanche conditions, but is making travel challenging.

High

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

Snowpack Summary

Trace amounts of dry snow have begun to accumulate atop a widespread hard crust. In general, the crust is strong and supportive to travel on.

In the midpack, a weak facet layer persists, but has become unlikely to trigger with a supportive crust above.

Areas in the east of the region are largely characterized by a shallow and faceted snowpack.

Tuesday Night

Cloudy, 10 to 20 km/h south ridgetop winds, treeline temperature -8 °C.

Wednesday

Cloudy with 0 to 2 cm of snow, 10 to 20 km/h southwest ridgetop winds, treeline temperature -8 °C.

Thursday

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
  • Carefully evaluate big/extreme terrain features before committing to them, it's not full "go" time yet.
  • Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.
