Conflicting forecasts are making it difficult to nail down the hazard. Be prepared to field forecast and predict if the local hazard will spike. A HIGH rating at any elevation band isn't out of the question if precip amounts vary.

Avalanche Summary
No activity today
Snowpack Summary
The snowpack was able to make it most of the because of last night's marginal re-freeze and the cloudy skies today. Pretty much the same situation as yesterday's discussion: below treeline is isothermal by mid afternoon with a surface re-freeze overnight. Treeline is a bit more aspect dependant in regards to the surface conditions. Solar aspects have a significant crust while polar aspects have a lighter temperature crust. The alpine is still a winter snowpack with thin crusts on solar aspects and hard wind slabs on most other aspects.
