Avalanche Summary
Several small (size 1-1.5) wet loose avalanches have been reported the past few days.
Snowpack Summary
Expect to see a crust on the snow surface on Monday. As the day warms the surface snow will likely turn moist and weaken, especially on sun-exposed slopes.
The upper snowpack consists of various melt-freeze layers and the lower snowpack is strong and bonded.
