Avalanche Summary

We haven't received any reports of recent avalanches. Looking forward, avalanche activity is unlikely anywhere there is a hard melt-freeze crust near the surface.

Please consider submitting a MIN post, particularly if you make it above treeline.

Snowpack Summary

A dusting of snow will accumulate on a thick and hard melt-freeze crust. Settled dry snow may exist in the alpine. Most of the snowpack below treeline is below threshold for forming avalanches.
