Avalanche hazard is low, though a widespread surface crust may soften at times.
Maintain good travel habits, and back off steep terrain if moist or wet surface snow is observed.
Cornices are overhanging. Warm temperatures, and even brief periods of sun may be enough to trigger them. Reduce exposure to overhead hazards if where you are travelling is being influenced by strong solar radiation.
No new avalanches have been reported in the area.
A widespread crust has formed on the surface. Above 1800 m this crust overlies a rapidly settling upper snowpack.
Below this, a variable (robust to breakable) crust sits over a facet layer at treeline and above.
The mid/lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong.
Snowpack depth ranges between 100 to 250 cm at treeline elevations.
