A widespread surface crust makes for generally safe conditions. Scale back your terrain choice as the surface snow deteriorates and weakens with daytime warming and sunny conditions.
Persistent slab avalanches remain possible, especially later in the day as the surface snow deteriorates, and weakens from daytime warming and solar effect.
Wet loose avalanche likelihood will increase throughout the day with daytime warming and sunny conditions, particularly on steep south-facing terrain.
A widespread melt-freeze crust exists on the surface. Expect the crust to deteriorate, and weaken at lower elevations and on south-facing slopes throughout the day.
Various weak layers, including crusts, facets, and/or surface hoar exist approximately 90 and 180 cm below the surface.
Natural wet loose avalanche activity continues to be reported, primarily below treeline and on steep south-facing terrain.
The widespread, natural avalanche cycle reported over the weekend appears to have ended.
