Avalanche Forecast

Sunday will be much like Saturday!  Clear skies, warm temps and light winds out of the SW.  Freezing levels will be around 2600m again so pay close attention to the quality of the overnight freeze.  Avalanche danger will trend again from Mod/Low in the cool times of the day to HIGH in the heat of the day.  START EARLY and dont be near anywhere south facing or under anything south facing later in the day.

Numerous loose wet avalanches on all aspects except including pure north alpine. A few other deep persistent avalanches up to sz 3 were also noted fail on ground. Some are running full path taking out mature timber at the end of the runouts.

Widespread crusts can be found on all aspects except for true north above 2400m. These crusts on south aspects are up to 20cm thick and fully supportive. As temperatures warm up during the day, these crusts are breaking down, loose wet avalanches begin to occur and as the heat penetrates deeper into the snowpack, deep slab avalanches become likely. There is a brief window between the two wherein there is good corn snow skiing but your timing has ton be bang on. Lower elevations are turning into a full on isothermal snowpack.
