Small avalanches can still have serious consequences in extreme terrain. Carefully evaluate your line before you commit to it.
No new avalanches have been reported.
A small (size 1) slab avalanche was reported near White Pass last weekend.
Cornice falls were observed to have triggered large avalanches last weekend and are expected to remain weak.
A skiff of new snow may overlie a widespread crust that exists up to roughly 1300 m. Daytime warming may soften this crust at low elevations.
At higher elevations, the snow is likely to be wind-affected. Large, fragile cornices can be found on exposed ridgelines and should be given a wide berth.
Soft dry snow may still be found on north-facing alpine slopes.
In some areas, particularly in the Haines Summit, a weak layer of facets or surface hoar is buried 50-80 cm. This layer is unlikely to trigger from the weight of a rider, but concern exists with very large loads like cornice falls.
