You may find dry snow on high north-facing features but be aware of slippery and difficult travel conditions due to a widespread crust.
No new avalanches were reported by Wednesday at 4 pm.
If you are headed into the backcountry please consider making a MIN post with photos and observations from the day. The information is very helpful for forecasters!
A thick melt-freeze crust covers the snow surface at all elevations with the exception of shaded north facing alpine terrain where dry snow may still be found.
The mid and lower snowpack is well consolidated, with several well-bonded crusts scattered throughout.
Snow depth has been reported as 330 cm at 1700 m, tapering quickly at lower elevations below treeline.
