A surface crust will make for challenging travel, but generally safe avalanche conditions. Pay attention to how incoming snow bonds to this crusty surface.
No new avalanches have been reported in this region since Jan 21.
Please continue to post your reports and photos to the Mountain Information Network, the information is very helpful to forecasters.
A surface crust varying from thick and supportive to thin and breakable can be found in most locations. Above 700 m, 50 cm of dense settling snow sits over a hard crust with wet or moist snow below. The middle and lower snowpack is strong and bonded.
Pay attention to the bond between the existing snow surfaces and new snow as it arrives in small amounts this week.
