Continue to assess your local conditions. Large cornices and pockets of wind slab may persist along ridgetops in the alpine.

• Make observations and assess conditions continually as you travel.
• 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.
• Watch for wind-loaded pockets especially around ridgecrest and in extreme terrain.

No new avalanches have been reported.

Up to 5 cm of new snow sits atop various surfaces at higher elevations, including firm wind-affected surfaces, hard crusts, and loose powder snow (primarily in sheltered north-facing terrain).

Large, fragile cornices can be found on exposed ridgelines and should be given a wide berth.

Below roughly 1300 m a trace of new snow overlies a widespread melt-freeze crust.
