Avalanche Forecast - CAIC zone

Alpine: Low
Treeline: Low
Below Treeline: Low

<p>Fresh snow and a little moisture are a welcome sight, but they will not be enough to impact the avalanche danger. After a low-snow year and a historic heatwave, the snowpack is shallow and discontinuous. Any avalanches will be small and relatively harmless unless triggered in extreme terrain.</p>
