Surface conditions and recent precipitation amounts are variable. Verify conditions as you travel.
Back off steep slopes if you find moist surface snow or no supportive crust.
Several persistent weak layers exist in the upper meter of the snowpack. Where these layers remain intact and there is no thick melt-freeze crust above human-triggering remains possible.
Expected precipitation amounts are highly variable. If 15 cm of new snow accumulates new, small storm slabs could be found.
Pulses of new snow and fluctuating freezing levels will see wet loose activity continue. Back off steep slopes where moist surfaces are found.
Dry loose avalanches are also possible where recent snow hasn't formed a slab or become moist .
Small wet loose avalanches continue to be triggered by skiers in steep terrain. Some small storm slab avalanches have also been reported on high north facing terrain where dry snow still remains.
The upper snowpack is highly variable. A crust exists on or near the surface on all aspects below treeline and on all sun exposed slopes. On north aspects, Up to 15 cm of snow has buried a melt-freeze crust from late March that increases in thickness as you gain elevation. Below these crusts, the upper snowpack is moist.
Several week layers from early March, mid February and late January can be found in the mid and lower snowpack.
Precipitation amounts over the next 24hrs could be highly variable due to convection.
