Small avalanches can still have serious consequences in extreme terrain. Carefully evaluate your line before you commit to it.
Increasing winds will impact any dry snow available. Check for reactive pockets around steep and exposed features.
Be mindful as temperature and freezing levels rise, a warming snowpack could quickly produce loose-wet avalanches
No recent avalanches have been reported.
If you visit the backcountry, please submit your observations to the Mountain Information Network.
10-30 cm of recent snow may still be found on shady, high-elevation areas and is settling quickly. Evidence of wind affect including cracking underfoot was reported Thursday March 28. This covers a widespread thick and supportive crust formed during last week's warm sunny weather.
Wet surface snow or an isothermal snowpack may be found as temperatures rise. The mid and lower snowpack is generally settled and strong. At lower elevations, spring is quickly approaching
