Continue to minimize your exposure to avalanche terrain and avoid overhead hazard until cooler weather arrives.
Avoid sun affected slopes. Wet avalanches remain likely.
We have had no reports of persistent slab activity since last weekend. Concern still exists for the possibility of natural avalanches on this layer with the warm temperatures and sunshine. If triggered, large avalanches are expected
Continued wet loose/slab activity is expected within the surface snow as warming continues and the snowpack has little chance to refreeze overnight. Greatest concern is for sun affected slopes especially near rock outcrops.
No new avalanches were reported on Saturday. However, observations are currently limited.
Wet avalanche activity has been observed this week up to size 2.5. Avalanches were only observed in the recent storm snow and not reported to have stepped down to the buried weak layers.
Expect to find moist or wet snow at all elevations except the highest north facing terrain. 30-50 cm of snow from the past week is rapidly settling over a variety of layers including a thin sun crust on south aspects.
Two weak layers of surface hoar, facets and a crust exist, buried 80-120 cm deep. While these have not produced recent avalanche activity we are still concerned about the possibility of step down avalanches.
