Avalanche Summary

No avalanches have been reported in this region since last weekend.

Please consider submitting a Mountain Information Network report if you head out. Even a photo of the mountains or an idea on the surface conditions helps!

Snowpack Summary

Around 10 to 20 cm of snow overlies a hard melt-freeze crust. This snow is likely wind-affected on exposed slopes at treeline and alpine elevations. The crust is on the surface at lower treeline and below treeline elevations

The mid and lower snowpack is well bonded with no concerns currently.

Data is very limited in this region.
