    Watch for wind slabs in the lee of wind exposed terrain features at upper elevations.

Confidence

Moderate

  • Uncertainty is due to the limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

There is no new avalanche activity to report over the past few days.

Backcountry reports are very limited. If you head out, please post any photos or observations to the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

Many areas are seeing 90 to over 130 cm of recent snow over a melt-freeze crust, with deeper deposits in wind-loaded terrain at treeline and above.

Early-season hazards remain a concern concealed beneath the new snow and will continue to be as the snowpack settles and becomes more supportive.
