Avalanche Forecast

No recent avalanche activity has been reported. Several days and nights of warm temperatures have allowed the snowpack to adjust and stabilize.

A thick, hard melt-freeze crust covers most avalanche terrain. This crust will weaken with daytime warming and sun. Moist snow is likely at lower elevations and in forested areas.

The lower snowpack is moist, uniform, and well-bonded.

Snow depths near treeline are around 100 cm and continue to decrease with ongoing warm conditions.

Saturday Night

Sunday

• A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
• A moist or wet snow surface, pinwheeling, and natural avalanches are all indicators of a weakening snowpack.
