Avalanche Forecast

No recent avalanches have been reported in the region. If you do venture into the snow let us know what you find by submitting a MIN report.

In sheltered areas at higher elevations, pockets of wind-loaded snow sit atop a weak, faceted lower snowpack. Exposed areas have been wind scoured.

At treeline, the height of snow ranges from 50 to 70 cm. As you descend to lower elevations, snow depths decrease significantly.

The snowpack at all elevations is very shallow and contains many potential hazards just beneath the snow surface.

Data is very limited at this time. If you are recreating in the mountains please consider submitting a MIN report.

Tuesday Night

• Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.
• Winter conditions may exist in gullies, alpine bowls, and around ridgelines.
• Early season avalanches at any elevation have the potential to be particularly dangerous due to obstacles that are exposed or just below the surface.
