Continually assess your local conditions. Expect natural avalanche activity to increase throughout the day on steep, sun-exposed slopes.
Summary
Confidence
Avalanche Summary
No recent avalanche activity has been reported.
Snowpack Summary
Expect to find anywhere from 0 to 20 cm of new snow atop a widespread melt-freeze crust. The remainder of the snowpack, below the crust, is generally settled and well-bonded.
Below treeline, slopes are largely below the threshold for avalanches.

Terrain and Travel Advice
- Make observations and assess conditions continually as you travel.
- When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
- Minimize exposure to sun-exposed slopes when the solar radiation is strong.
- Watch for wind-loaded pockets especially around ridgecrest and in extreme terrain.
Problems
Loose Wet
Expect both natural and human-triggered avalanches to become more likely throughout the day on steep, sun-exposed slopes. This is particularly true in areas where fresh snow lies atop the widespread crust.
Aspects: South East, South, South West, West.
