Weather Forecast
Avalanche Summary
Loose wet avalanches are still occurring as the day warms up and temperatures increase. Temperature and quality of freeze overnight is whats is driving the avalanche hazard right now. Cold and good freeze means avalanches are less likely, as temps warm up and overnight freezes become less common, avalanches will be likely.Â
Snowpack Summary
The winters snow has generally melted off at lower elevations but significant snow can still be found in alpine terrain. As long as there is snow in the mountains there is avalanche potential so always be thinking about consequences as you travel and what would happen if. Cornices should also be carefully evaluated.Â
