Snowpack Summary
10-15cm of fresh, dense snow has created fresh storm slabs. This came in wet and heavy and has bonded well to a warming, settling snowpack. Deeper persistent instabilities remain a concern in the snowpack but have not produced observable activity recently. Loose wet slides continue to trigger and entrain the accessible snow around.
Avalanche Summary
Wet point release avalanches will continue to be a problem whenever the rain line, freezing levels and solar spikes hit spring normals.Â
