Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported in this region.

If you do go into the backcountry, please consider submitting a MIN report.

Snowpack Summary

Roughly 30 cm of heavy, wet, "coastal" snow has buried a widespread, thick crust at higher elevations. New snow may still need time to bond to the underlying crust in areas.

Conditions remain rugged at lower elevations with a shallow and largely isothermal snowpack.
