Verify conditions as you move through terrain.

Small wind slabs may be present in the alpine and wet loose avalanches will be possible on steep, sun-affected slopes.

    Small wind slabs may exist in the alpine and are most likely to trigger where they overlie a crust.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were reported on Wednesday.

NOTE: Observations in this region are currently very limited.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 20 cm of recent snow overlies a 10 to 15 cm crust. On solar aspects, a crust exists on the surface. Beneath this is a moist upper snowpack.

The mid/lower snowpack is well settled and strong.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Rocks will heat up with daytime warming and may become trigger points for loose wet avalanches.
