Danger d’avalanche
Points saillants
A widespread surface crust is making the riding pretty tricky in most places.
The best riding can be found on high northerly aspects.
Use caution and leave extra time for ski outs.

Avalanche Summary
There has been no natural avalanche activity in the last few days in the park. Explosive testing on Monday produced minimal results.
Snowpack Summary
A breakable surface crust exists on all but high north facing alpine slopes. Some riders are reporting a spring-like melt-freeze corn cycle on solar slopes, but that has been variable.
The mid and lower snowpacks are well settled and strong. There is a small layer of surface hoar down ~1m. It has not been reactive recently and continues to break down.
Weather Summary
A stable weather pattern will persist for the forecast period. Expect cool temps and no new snow.
