Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

Snowpack Summary

Around 10 to 30 cm of moist snow sits over sun crusts on south-facing slopes and old, firm wind-affected surfaces in exposed terrain.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally uniform, with no significant layers of concern.

Below treeline, most areas are below threshold for avalanches.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • The more the snow feels like a slurpy, the more likely loose wet avalanches will become.
  • Even a small avalanche can be harmful if it pushes you into an obstacle or a terrain trap.
