Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

If you are headed into the backcountry please consider submitting a MIN report.

Snowpack Summary

Cool and clear weather continues to promote surface hoar formation and faceting at the surface. A crust exists at the surface on south-facing slopes and lower elevations. Loose, dry snow may still exist in shaded, north-facing terrain at higher elevations.

The mid and lower snowpack is well consolidated, with no significant layers of concern.

Terrain and Travel Advice

The snowpack is generally stable; it may be appropriate to step out into more complex terrain.
A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
Use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where even small avalanches may have severe consequences.
