Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

Snowpack Summary

Information coming from this region has been extremely limited; however, reports suggest there is about a meter of snow at upper treeline elevations. Terrain below treeline is reported to be mostly below threshold for avalanche activity.Steep solar aspects have seen a daily melt-freeze cycle with recent warming.The upper snowpack  is tightening up with the recent warm temps and will have likely gained considerable strength.  A few crusts can be found deeper in the snowpack.  Some facets may be found lingering around these crusts at higher elevations. Observers are not identifying any of these as cause for concern at this time although they might be worth exploring.

Avalanche Problems

Loose Wet

Temperatures are forecast to remain above freezing in the alpine for the next few days. Sunny breaks may trigger loose wet avalanches on steep sun-exposed slopes.
Watch for clues, like sluffing off of cliffs, that the snowpack is warming up. >
