Several size 2 on solar aspects. One size 3 in the Goat Range was observed on an East aspects in the alpine. Expect more activity and cornice failures when the sun comes out.  The cornices are large and can trigger deeper slabs.

Snowpack Summary

Spring time is here. Expect cool temperatures and a supportive crust below 2150m first thing in the morning. Expect the snow to become moist on solar aspects by mid day with the avalanche hazard increasing. Good skiing along with dry snow can still be found on North aspects and shady slopes above 2000m.
