Stevens Pass

Expect mild temperatures and a chance for light precipitation. You could see some small roller balls on steep slopes in the surface snow. Avalanches are unlikely, though travel on firm crusts and debris could be challenging. 

Light accumulations over the week have added up to about 3-5" of dry snow on shaded slopes. On Friday, you could see roller balls on steep slopes if enough sun or light rain melts the snow surface. These shouldn't be big enough to be considered avalanches or pose danger to backcountry travelers. Firm crusts on or just under the surface and lots of frozen avalanche debris may make travel conditions challenging. At the highest elevations, you may encounter very thin drifted slabs of snow.

There was a widespread, natural avalanche cycle in most of the Cascades on February 28th, while the area received heavy snow, followed by heavy rain up to at least 6,500ft. The avalanche cycle in the Stevens Pass zone included multiple slides at size D2.5-3, and many smaller avalanches. Observers reported avalanches running on unusually low-angle terrain. Check out the avalanche database for details of some of these.
