South Rockies, Dogtooth, East Purcell, Bull, Elkford East, Elkford West.
Soft, dry snow and good riding conditions can still be found on shady upper-elevation slopes.
Avalanche activity is unlikely, but normal caution is still advised.
On Thursday in the Dogtooth Range, explosives triggered two size 1.5 cornices with very small subsequent wind slabs below.
Avalanche activity is considered unlikely, and the danger is expected to remain low until the weather pattern shifts to bring more precipitation.

A widespread layer of surface hoar is growing in the region. It is not currently a concern, but may become problematic once buried by new snow.
Otherwise, a surface crust caps the snowpack, except for upper-elevation shady north through east-facing slopes, where some wind-affected powder may provide decent riding/ski conditions. On south-facing slopes, the crust may soften and melt for a short time on steep sunny slopes.
A couple of notable buried layers persist, but are currently not affecting stability:
A layer of surface hoar or a sun crust buried 25-60 cm deep.
A crust with facets can be found near the base of the snowpack (persisting in shallow areas).
