Avalanche Summary
No recent avalanches have been reported.
Snowpack Summary
5 to 15 cm of dry snow may be found on north-facing slopes, otherwise, the upper snowpack consists of various melt-freeze layers.
The facet/crust layer that caused large avalanches in March is buried 100 to 180 cm deep and is unlikely to trigger under the current conditions.
