North Rockies

It's a good time to take advantage of the sunny weather and low danger to explore more complex objectives.

Continue to use normal caution in avalanche terrain.

Moderate

• We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

No new avalanches have been reported. With the current conditions, triggering avalanches is unlikely.

There are few observations from this region. If you are getting out, please share observations like weather and riding conditions to the Mountain Information Network.

5 to 10 cm of recent snow may be covering a melt-freeze crust of variable thickness that is likely present to mountain top. At upper elevations, previous strong winds formed wind slabs that may remain triggerable in very isolated areas. At lower elevations and on sunny or windward slopes, the snow surface is likely crusty.

At treeline and below, a prominent crust buried in late January is potentially buried 10 to 20 cm.

The mid-December facet/crust layer is buried approximately 80 cm deep.
