Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are free from dangerous avalanches. That said, we do have two developing Loose issues.

As the snowpack weakens, it will become easier to trigger loose avalanches at low elevation on steep, shady, sheltered slopes. As temperatures continue to warm and the sun shines, we could see some loose activity on steep, rocky, sunny slopes in the afternoon. Both scenarios would lead to small avalanches. Something to pay attention to, but overall conditions remain generally safe.
