Choose mellow terrain and constantly assess the bond of the new snow to the old surface.
Avalanche danger is increasing through the day as new snow accumulates.
Accumulating storm snow will increase avalanche danger at treeline and above. Even though terrain below treeline is mostly below threshold for avalanches, use extra caution in or under any open features.
No new avalanches have been reported in this region.
We expect that with the incoming snow, human-triggered avalanches will be likely.
If you do go into the backcountry, please consider submitting a MIN report.
20-35 cm of new snow covers a robust crust that exists up to mountain tops.
Where snow still existed below treeline, it was isothermal or refrozen. Even with some new snow at lower elevations, travel will remain challenging.
