Avalanche activity rapidly declined the past couple of days with cooler weather.Looking forward, avalanche activity is not expected anywhere a thick and hard melt-freeze crust is on or very near the snow surface. Continue to use caution travelling near cornices. Use caution in extreme terrain, where small, loose avalanches could push you off your feet.

Anywhere from a dusting to 10 cm of snow overlies a hard melt-freeze crust. Periods of snow this weekend will build on this. The snow surface will moisten on sun-exposed slopes and below treeline with daytime warming.The remainder of the snowpack is strong, with various thick melt-freeze crusts found in the upper to middle portions of the snowpack.The snowpack continues to melt below treeline.
