Points saillants

Expect storm slabs to be much more reactive at upper elevations.

Use conservative route selection. Choose simple, low angle terrain with no overhead hazard.

    Wet loose avalanches become less likely after rain has soaked the upper snowpack.

    Reactive storm slabs may form at upper elevations.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to variable freezing levels.

Avalanche Summary

A natural avalanche cycle has likely occurred at upper elevations over the past couple days.

Snowpack Summary

Snow is moist or rain soaked to mountain tops. The recent snow overlies a hard crust.

The mid/lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong.

Snowpack depth ranges between 70 to 175 cm at treeline elevations.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Use conservative route selection. Choose simple, low angle terrain with no overhead hazard.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with aspect and elevation.
  • A moist or wet snow surface, pinwheeling, and natural avalanches are all indicators of a weakening snowpack.
  • Use small, low consequence slopes to test the bond of the new snow.
