Avalanche Summary

Warmer weather will help to heal avalanche conditions, but problems will linger on north through east-facing slopes. You might trigger an avalanche where you find a cohesive slab on top of weak snow near the ground, especially on wind-drifted terrain features near and above treeline. While most of these avalanches will be small, some could grow large enough to bury you on larger connected slopes.

Small wet avalanches might also spring up on steep southerly slopes as things heat up.
