Weather Forecast
Avalanche Summary
A few loose wet avalanches up to sz 1 with the warmer temps. Otherwise no new observations or reported avalanches.
Snowpack Summary
Limited observations these days as the season starts to wind down. Temps on Thursday climbed to 12C at 2200m with lots of cloud cover. Light rain was falling starting in the afternoon and lower elevation terrain was going isothermal. Freezing levels climbed to 2500m so expect to encounter moist snow to this elevation. Above this elevation, dry snow can still be found on N aspects but dont expect long runs of powder. As you approach treeline, the MFC of spring returns and skiing gets a bit more challenging. South aspects are starting to "Corn" up but its not full on spring corn season just yet.
