The danger rating will start at Low but rise over the day due to solar input and freezing levels to 2500m.
Plan on starting and finishing your day early.
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.
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.
Expect temperatures above 2500m in the PM with plenty of solar input and lighter winds. See the image below for more details.
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.
No recent avalanches have been reported in this region.
