An isothermal snowpack exists at all elevations.
Exercise caution around steep slopes, where surface snow may remain unstable.
Small loose wet avalanches are likely on steep slopes at all elevations, especially with strong sun. A surface crust, if present, may reduce the risk.
No new avalanche was reported, but field observations are limited. Old debris of large natural wet avalanches from the past weekend's storm is still visible throughout the region.
Up to 100 cm of moist to wet snow sits on the rapidly decomposing January crust, now down 100 to 150 cm. Below this, the snowpack is rounded and stable. At lower elevations, rain has soaked the snowpack, and the coverage is thin.
