Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

Snowpack Summary

A robust crust likely exists on the snow surface up to mountain tops.

Where snow still exists below treeline, it is isothermal and travel is very challenging.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.
  • When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
