Not much change is expected until we see a significant weather pattern change. Remember, low danger does not mean no danger.

Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches have been reported but watch for loose snow sluffing in steep terrain and sun-exposed slopes, and small wind slabs in lee and cross-loaded terrain in the alpine.
Snowpack Summary
Up to 15 cm of dry snow sits on a variety of old surfaces including a melt-freeze crust on solar aspects in the alpine, smooth old snow on higher elevation lee slopes, and well-developed surface hoar in sheltered areas at treeline and lower elevations. This dry surface snow could be capped by a sun crust on some steep solar aspects, or a fresh layer of surface hoar on sheltered and shady slopes. Variable winds have created soft wind slabs in lee and cross-loaded terrain in alpine areas. The mid and lower snowpack is generally strong.
