Avalanche Summary

We haven't received any reports of recent avalanche activity.

Please consider submitting your observations to the MIN if you head to the backcountry.

Snowpack Summary

New snow will accumulate onto a hard melt-freeze crust except for shady high alpine slopes, where it will fall onto soft faceted snow over a hard crust. Thicker deposits could accumulate in lee terrain features near mountain tops.

Weak faceted grains above a hard crust that formed in early February is buried about 50 to 110 cm deep. This layer is currently dormant.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for fresh storm slabs building throughout the day.
  • When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
  • Avoid shallow, rocky areas where the snowpack transitions from thick to thin.
