Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanches have been reported.

Snowpack Summary

New snow has generally buried old variable wind-affected snow surfaces. While in wind-sheltered terrain new snow may sit atop weak surface hoar crystals.

Below 1500 m, a thick melt-freeze crust is buried 50 - 100 cm deep.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind affected terrain.
  • Wind slabs are most reactive during their formation.
  • Sheltered low elevation terrain will likely offer the best and safest riding today.
