Avalanche Summary
No notable avalanches have been reported over the past few days. Activity has been limited to a few small wind slabs on northeast alpine slopes and loose wet avalanches on sun-exposed slopes. Expect the same pattern to continue.
Snowpack Summary
Most slopes have entered a daily melt-freeze cycle, with the exception of north-facing terrain above 2000 m. On these colder slopes, you may find dry powder or isolated wind slabs. These same slopes may also have a layer of faceted grains buried 20 to 40 cm below the surface, but this layer has not produced recent avalanche activity. Elsewhere, the surface has been melting each day and then freezing into a hard crust overnight. Snow is disappearing rapidly at lower elevations.The base of the snowpack is composed of faceted snow that is capable of producing large avalanches during times of intense warming (such as two weeks ago).
