Highlights

The avalanche hazard is Low. Warming in the mid-day and afternoon on solar aspects may cause the snowpack to lose its cohesion and decrease its stability. On the other end of the spectrum, it is still possible to find small, isolated wind slabs at high elevations on steep slopes. Keep the time of day in mind during your travels and only expose one person at a time while traveling in avalanche terrain.
