No new avalanches were reported on Thursday but observations are limited this time of year.

If you are venturing into the backcountry please consider filling out a Mountain Information Network report.

A new crust can be found at or near the surface on all but high north facing terrain. Rider triggerable wind slab could still be found in the alpine on west through east aspects.

• Be careful with wind slabs, especially in steep, unsupported and/or convex terrain features.
• Minimize your exposure time below cornices.
• As surface loses cohesion due to melting, loose wet avalanches become common in steeper terrain.
