Snowpack Summary
A dusting of snow will fall onto a thick and hard melt-freeze crust. On shady high alpine slopes, the new snow may fall onto 5 to 10 cm of soft snow that overlies a hard crust.
Weak faceted grains above a hard crust that formed in early February is buried about 50 to 110 cm deep. This layer is currently dormant.

Terrain and Travel Advice
- When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
- Avoid shallow, rocky areas where the snowpack transitions from thick to thin.
