Check how well the recent snow is bonding, and manage your exposure to sun-exposed slopes. Back off if the snow is wet and slushy.
Rising freezing levels and solar radiation will destabilize the upper snowpack and new snow initiating wet loose avalanches in steep terrain.
No new avalanches have been reported, but observations are very limited.
Upper elevations may have 10 to 20 cm of recent snow over melt-freeze crusts. A typical spring diurnal pattern is underway: daytime warmth moistens the upper snowpack, while overnight cooling usually forms a hard crust at higher elevations. Lower elevations may not refreeze and are melting out quickly.
