Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches observed today.

Snowpack Summary

Cooler temps all day did not see the previous nights crust break down. Some new snow is expected over the next 48 hours which will improve the skiing. This snow will likely poorly bond to the underlying crust in most places so watch for loose dry events if amounts are more than expected. On northern aspects, the snowpack is generally well settled with some isolated windslabs in alpine terrain. Watch to see what the winds do with the new forecasted amounts. 

Terrain and Travel

  • Avoid sun exposed slopes when the solar radiation is strong, especially if snow is moist or wet
  • Small avalanches can have serious consequences in extreme terrain. Carefully evaluate your line for wind slab hazard before you commit to it.
  • Keep in mind the crust offers an excellent bed surface for avalanches.
