Avalanche hazard remains low, its a good time to explore.

Use normal caution, verify conditions and apply good travel habits.

High

• We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

There have been no new avalanches reported in the past week.

Isolated flurries have started to bury a layer of surface hoar over a crust that extends to mountain top on all aspects.

Several crust and facet layers are present deeper in the snowpack. These layers are not a concern at this time.

• Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
• A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
• The snowpack is generally stable; it may be appropriate to step out into more complex terrain.
• Carefully evaluate big and steep terrain features before committing to them.
