Incoming clouds, warm temps, and mixed flurries/rain will prevent solid surface crusts to form overnight. Periods of rainfall will rapidly destabilize the snowpack in the coming days.

The snowpack has undergone numerous melt-freeze cycles resulting in several crusts in the upper snowpack on all but high (>2400m) N aspects, where one can still find loose, dry snow. Check out this link for more info on spring conditions.
Several glide crack releases to sz 2.5 were noted in the highway corridor from below-tree-line elevations yesterday. Loose, dry sluffing to sz 1.5was also observed from the N side of Macdonald.
