While much of the region remains below the avalanche threshold, it's important to remember that if the snow is deep enough to ride, it is deep enough to trigger an avalanche.

Avalanche Summary
No recent avalanches have been reported. Information from the field is sparse this time of year. Consider submitting a MIN report if you are recreating in the mountains.
Snowpack Summary
The snowpack is very shallow, and below threshold in many areas. Various hazards exist just below the snow surface.
The height of snow at treeline ranges from 0 to 50 cm. Snow depths decrease dramatically at lower elevations.
At higher elevations, pockets of deeper, wind-loaded snow may exist and sit atop a weak, facetted layer at the base of the snowpack.

Terrain and Travel Advice
- Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.
- Winter conditions may exist in gullies, alpine bowls, and around ridgelines.
- If it's deep enough to ride, it's deep enough to slide (avalanche).
