Low danger doesn't mean no avalanches.
Avoid cross-loaded features and areas with a shallow, thin-to-thick, snowpack where it may still be possible to trigger a slab.

Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches were reported on Monday or Tuesday by the time of publishing.
Snowpack Summary
40 to 50 cm of recent snow overlies predominantly crusty surfaces, except for northerly aspects at upper elevations.
A widespread, hard crust with facets above is buried 80 to 120 cm deep. Steep or convex terrain features with a shallow or thin-to-thick snowpack at treeline and above are where it may still be possible to trigger a slab. However, when a thick surface crust is present, human triggering this layer is unlikely.
