Hazard is low and it's a good time to explore more committing terrain.

Don't turn your guard off, continue to evaluate steep lines before entering.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported this week.

Early season observations are very limited. Please consider sharing your observations with forecasters and the backcountry community through the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

The alpine and exposed areas at treeline generally have hard wind affected surfaces. Small pockets of triggerable wind slab may remain in isolated terrain.

In lower elevation sheltered trees, surface hoar and facets are developing. These sit on top of 10-15 centimeters of soft snow overlying older firmer snow.

The snowpack is generally strong, with some crusts near the base.

Snow depths vary significantly across the region, with about 50 cm at treeline and up to 100 cm in alpine areas.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Small avalanches can have serious consequences in extreme terrain. Carefully evaluate your line for slabs before you commit to it.
  • Watch for areas of hard wind slab on alpine features.
