A widespread surface crust is creating stable avalanche conditions, but is making travel challenging.
In high alpine terrain where the surface crust may not exist or be unsupportive, persistent weak layers may remain human-triggerable.
No recent avalanche activity has been reported.
A surface crust of varying thickness exists at all elevations. In some areas, up to 10 cm of dry snow may have buried this crust.
A layer of facets formed during the January cold snap exists down 30 to 60 cm.
In areas east of the Divide the snowpack is shallow and faceted with depths of 60 to 100 cm around treeline.
