A small amount of snow is available in the mountains for wind transport.
If you notice areas more heavily loaded with new snow, keep in mind that it rests on a crust that could provide an excellent sliding surface.
Wind slabs could be present in isolated terrain features, such as in laterally loaded areas and under ridges and terrain convexities. These will rest on a crust that could form a good sliding surface for avalanches.
No new avalanches reported or observed.
If you are heading into the backcountry, please share your observations on the Mountain Information Network (MIN).
