Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanches were noted in the region.

Snowpack Summary

Warm air may continue to moisten the snow surface, particularly on southerly aspects during the day if clear skies prevail. There is uncertainty in how much the warming will affect the snowpack. Use additional caution if you notice signs of snowpack warming.Below this warming effect, the remainder of the snowpack is well-settled.

Problems

Loose Wet

Loose Wet avalanches are the release of wet unconsolidated snow or slush. These avalanches typically occur within layers of wet snow near the surface of the snowpack, but they may quickly gouge into lower snowpack layers. Like Loose Dry Avalanches, they start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-wet avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs. Loose Wet avalanches can trigger slab avalanches that break into deeper snow layers.
