Avalanche Discussion

With a cooler daytime high temperature in the upper 30's the chance of wet loose avalanches will be greatly reduced. 

We have a wide variety of surface condtions out there right now. Some slopes have been scoured by the wind down to old melt freeze crust while some areas have a wavy scalloped wind sculpted surface. Slopes that have had a few days of melt/freeze may be starting to smooth out. 

Look for the best riding conditions on solar aspects.....hopefully they soften up just enough on Saturday.
