Solar-induced loose wet avalanches to size 1.5 released naturally over the last few days in response to solar radiation and warming at higher elevations.

A new layer of surface hoar and near surface facetting has developed, and we will need to track it's distribution before the next snow arrives. The last few days of clear skies, solar radiation, and warm air trapped at higher elevations has settled the recent storm snow. Southerly aspects have seen enough sun and warmth to become moist or wet, and a melt-freeze crust has likely formed with cooling. Some wind transported snow continues to form thin wind slabs on various aspects.The mid and lower snowpack are generally strong and well-settled.
