Small avalanches in isolated areas remain possible under low danger ratings.
Continue to verify conditions and use normal caution in avalanche terrain
Sunny, warmer periods can make wet loose avalanches more likely on steep slopes. Use appropriate sluff management techniques and avoid being under cornices or steep sunny features during the warmest parts of the day.
No recent avalanches have been reported. However, observations are extremely limited at this time of year.
Looking ahead, some wet loose activity may be possible during the warmest parts of the day on sunny slopes. Small, isolated wind slabs may remain triggerable on lee alpine slopes.
Soft, dry powder can still be found on shady upper elevation slopes. Storm snow from earlier in the week has largely settled and bonded to the underlying crust. Small, isolated wind slabs may still exist at upper elevations on northerly slopes.
Sun-affected slopes have a hard surface crust, which will likely melt and soften with daytime warming, improving the riding quality.
The remaining snowpack shows no concerning layers at this time, and areas below treeline are largely below the threshold for avalanche activity.
