Good stability and no new avalanche activity are no excuse for complacency. Practice safe travel within your group and carry appropriate safety gear. Dig to know what you ski on.
Low probability, high consequence problem at the moment. Keep an eye out for sporadic weak layers within the snowpack. These layers may be present in a form of buried surface hoar, facet interfaces, or sun crust.
Alpine is either stripped of snow completely or offers a variety of wind affected surfaces. Surface faceting continues with cooler temperatures. Strong mid-pack overlies generally supportive basal layers. Decomposing surface hoar is found down 40cm to 80cm in isolated sheltered locations, in the very southern parts of the park.
Field team reports no new avalanche activity observed.
