This avalanche condition is quite uncertain and large slopes should be treated with caution. Especially those with recent wind loading or those that face the sun.

Weather Forecast
Light snow and cool temperatures are expected for the weekend. Temperatures are expected to climb next week.
Snowpack Summary
Total storm snow over the Mar 15 interface is approx. 40 cm but quite variable. Open areas in the southern forecast area are showing more surface wind effect. The Mar 15 interface is weak made up of facets over variable surfaces depending on aspect and exposure. Little slab development has been observed to date.
Avalanche Summary
Two size 1.5 to 2 avalanches were observed on steep south facing slopes today. One skier accidental size 2.5 slab was reported from Thursday afternoon in the Shangri-La area.
Confidence
Timing or intensity of solar radiation is uncertain
