Spring is here! Early starts and early finishes are important as the Avalanche danger will increase throughout the day as conditions warm up.
Repeated warming/cooling cycles are helping stabilize these layers. Continue to watch steep polar aspects where the warming cycles are fewer and less intense.
This problem will become more likely throughout the day as temperatures warm up.
A few loose wet avalanche's from steep solar aspects. No new slab avalanche activity.
Crusts are the prominent layers in our changing snowpack. Thick, supportive surface crusts are up to 2500m on most aspects except true polar. Even polar aspects have crusts up to about 2200m. Beneath that are various other crusts that are helping hold it all together. With that said, the Mar 24 layer/interface is still evident and a potential failure plain on steep, high north country. Don't rule it out just yet.
Be sure to check the quality of the freeze overnight before you go! Stability will change throughout the day as the conditions warm up.
Spring is here it feels like! Friday will be a beautiful day with a freezing level around 2600m, light winds, and clear skies.
