Avalanche Summary

No new avalanche observations.

Snowpack Summary

A widespread crust exists on all aspects to mountaintop. This crust may soften during the day.

The mid to lower snowpack contains a few crust/facet layers, including one buried in mid December, now 50 to 80 cm deep. These layers are not a concern under current conditions.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Limit exposure to steep, sun exposed slopes, especially when the solar radiation is strong.
