It's a good time to explore more complex terrain.
Continue to verify conditions and remain cautious when travelling on or under corniced ridges.
Cornices are large this time of year and can surprise you by breaking further back than expected; give them a wide berth when traveling on ridgetops.
No new avalanches have been reported.
Observations are currently very limited in this region. Thank you for sharing observations to the Mountain Information Network if you head into the backcountry.
The snowpack is generally well-settled and strong. Isolated flurries may deliver a dusting of new snow at upper elevations on Sunday. Otherwise, a typical spring diurnal scenario is underway. Warm temperatures during the daytime melt the upper snowpack, making it moist or wet. Cooling at night then usually forms a hard crust at upper elevations. Lower elevations may not refreeze overnight and are melting out rapidly.
