Regions

Dogtooth, East Purcell.

Low hazard does not mean no hazard. Isolated pockets of wind-affected snow linger over a weak layer.

Watch for dense, stiff slabs in steep lee terrain features.

Confidence

High

We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Avalanche Summary

On Sunday, cornice releases continue to be reported, both natural and human triggered.

If you are heading into the backcountry, please share your observations with the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

Pockets of wind affected snow overlie a variety of surfaces: soft snow on shaded slopes and a crust on solar facing slopes.

Below this, depending on aspect and elevation, the top 30 cm may contain one or two layers of crust, facet and/or surface hoar formed in late January and early February.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally well settled, with no significant concerns.
