A supportive surface crust makes for generally safe avalanche conditions. Consider scaling back your terrain choice if snow surfaces begin to weaken or moisten from daytime warming.
Wet loose avalanche likelihood may increase throughout the day with daytime warming and sunny conditions, particularly on steep south-facing terrain.
No recent avalanche activity has been reported.
As temperatures gradually decline expect to find a widespread crust on the surface. Anticipate the surface snow to weaken throughout the day with daytime warming and potential sun effect.
80 to 120 cm below the snow surface, a weak layer of faceted snow may exist sitting atop a crust on all but high north aspects.
The mid and lower snowpack is generally settled and strong.
