It's spring skiing out there folks!
Keep an eye on surface conditions, as the snow becomes wet and heavy - avalanches are more likely.
Loose wet avalanches are most likely on steep, south facing slopes in the afternoon - especially near rocks where warming will be most intense.
Strong sunshine and warm temperatures are expected to break down the surface crust at low elevations, and on steep sun affected slopes into the alpine. Snow on north facing alpine slopes will likely remain loose and dry.
The mid and lower snowpack is dense and well-settled with no current concerns.
No recent avalanche activity has been reported. We expect small loose wet avalanches to have occurred from steep, rocky features.
If you are headed into the backcountry please consider submitting a MIN report.
