There have been small avalanches on smooth alpine slopes during recent snowfalls.

Snow is slowly starting to accumulate at upper elevations, with approximately 30cm of settled snow at treeline. If you decide to give touring a go, plan for hiking at lower elevations, give yourself lots of extra time, and be cautious where wind deposits have created localized pockets of deep snow.

Reports are limited, but there have been no recent avalanche observations; only minor sluffing/cracking in steep alpine terrain. The main snowpack concern is small, isolated wind slabs in alpine gullies.

Recent snowfall of 5–10 cm, combined with strong SW–SE winds, has formed wind slabs in the alpine. The new snow and wind slabs overlie 20–30 cm of faceted snow at higher elevations. Reports indicate snow depths of up to 80 cm on glaciers, while snow cover remains minimal at treeline and below. Overall, the early-season snowpack is thin and variable.
