No new avalanche activity has been reported.

Light amounts of recently fallen snow (up to 30cm in the Coquihalla) sit over an assortment of old snow surfaces. These surfaces include melt-freeze crusts on all aspects below 1700m and on steep solar aspects higher up, old wind slabs and surface facets on northern aspects where colder temperatures have persisted. Sandwiched between the old surfaces and the more recent snow may be buried surface hoar. The surface hoar seems to be most prominent at treeline and below and is most likely to be found in the north and central parts of the region. At this point there isn't enough of an overlying slab to create reactivity on the surface hoar layer, but it is a layer to monitor as more snow accumulates. In general the mid and lower snowpack are strong and well settled.
