Avalanche Rating

Snowpack Discussion
Up to 25 cm of recent snow may be found at upper elevations. This snow overlies a robust crust everywhere except northerly aspects in the alpine.
Most terrain has undergone strong melt-freeze cycles, but the snowpack remains slightly more complex on north-facing alpine slopes, where buried weak layers may still be present.
Avalanche Activity
On Tuesday, there was a natural wet loose avalanche cycle in the recent snow, mostly small but some up to size 2.
On Monday, several skier-triggered size 1 wind slabs were reported on northerly aspects below ridge tops.
NOTE: Observations are currently very limited.
