Wet loose avalanches are most likely when new snow sees warming for the first time.
Triggerable wind slabs may still exist in alpine terrain.
Recent storm snow may remain reactive to rider-triggering in wind-loaded areas, particularly where it overlies a slick crust.
New snow weakens as it sees warm temperatures for the first time. Watch steep, solar slopes and areas around rocks where these small avalanches could be easier to trigger.
Up to 30 cm of recent snowfall overlies a crust.
Snow depths at treeline vary across the region from 230 cm near Mt. Washington to 130 cm near Mt Cain.
No new avalanches have been reported in the past few days, but field observations are limited.
If you are going out in the backcountry, please consider filling out a Mountain Information Network (MIN) report.
