A weak snowpack with isothermal conditions Below Tree Line, Tree Line and reaching into the Alpine exists on all aspects due to prolonged high freezing levels. Some crust recovery overnight in the high Alpine. The persistent slab problem still exists on high north facing alpine slopes in specific locations.
Avalanche Summary
Loose wet and wet slab avalanches up to size 3 have been observed along the Parkway, many initiated by cornice failure due to daytime heating. This trend will continue with the forecasted weather ahead.
