Summary

High

We haven't received reports of recent avalanche activity. The likelihood of triggering an avalanche is low at this time.

Please consider submitting to the Mountain Information Network if you are getting out in the backcountry.

A dusting of snow will fall onto a hard melt-freeze crust. The snow surface will moisten with daytime warming and freeze into a crust at night.

The remainder of the snowpack is strong.

There is insufficient snow to form avalanches for most below treeline locations.

Cloudy with 1 to 3 cm of snow. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Tuesday

When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
Avoid terrain traps such as gullies and cliffs where the consequence of any avalanche could be serious.
