Avalanche Summary
No recent avalanches have been reported in this region.
Snowpack Summary
Crusts exist on solar aspects to ridgetop and all aspects at treeline and below. North-facing alpine slopes hold 20–40 cm of dry snow. A stiff midpack sits on Jan facets 90 to 150cm, with a settled lower snowpack below. On most slopes, crusts over the slab add strength if thick and frozen.
Weather Summary
Expect temperatures above 2500m in the PM with plenty of solar input and lighter winds. See the image below for more details.
Terrain and Travel Advice

Avalanche Problems
Loose Wet
We expect this problem to become active as the sun warms the day. The best way to minimize risk is to start early and be done before things warm up.
Aspects: East, South East, South, South West, West.
Elevations: All elevations.
Likelihood: Likely
Expected Size: 1 - 2
Persistent Slabs
A facet layer down 90 to 150cm has been inactive for a while, and we suspect it is not a problem in the region. We have kept it in for Friday as there is some uncertainty if the sun will wake it up.
Aspects: North, North East, East, West, North West.
Elevations: Alpine.
Likelihood: Unlikely
Expected Size: 2 - 3
