    Generally safe avalanche conditions exist with a useable snowpack above 8000' in most areas.  Small wind slabs may exist or form on all aspects in near treeline and above treeline terrain through the week as wind speeds fluctuate and change directions.  Many hazards and obstacles exist throughout the region including: exposed trees, rocks, bushes, open water, creek crossings, etc.  Firm rain crusts have been observed in wind scoured terrain and could pose travel hazards.
