Highlights

The snowpack is mostly stable. Isolated pockets of shallow wind slab could be human triggered in steep terrain. Small slides could knock a person over or sweep them down a very steep slope or over a cliff. Loose snow sluffs are possible on steep sunlit aspects, especially during the warmest portion of the day. Normal caution is advised.
