Daytime warming could weaken cornices. Give them a wide berth when on ridges and limit your exposure when travelling on slopes below them.
Avalanche danger is low anywhere a hard melt-freeze crust exists on or near the snow surface. Continue to travel safely around cornices during the heat of the day.

We haven't received any recent reports of avalanches.
The likelihood of avalanches is low anywhere a hard melt-freeze crust exists on the snow surface. Use caution near cornices and on sun-exposed slopes during the heat of the day.
Anywhere from a dusting to 10 cm of snow overlies a hard melt-freeze crust. Sun-exposed slopes may melt with daytime warming.
The remainder of the snowpack is strong with numerous thick melt-freeze crusts.
