Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been observed or reported in the region, however, observations are limited at this time of year. If you head into the backcountry consider submitting a MIN report.

Snowpack Summary

At the highest elevations, recent wind-affected snow covers a melt-freeze crust and moist upper snowpack.

Snowpack depths at upper elevations grow to 80 cm, where snow begins to cover surface roughness. The snow-dirt line is found around 1200 m, and most solar slopes and below treeline are below the threshold for avalanches.

Weather Summary

Sunday night

Cloudy with isolated flurries, clearing overnight. Moderate to light north wind, treeline low temperatures -10 C, and freezing level valley bottom.
