Avalanche Summary
Riders have triggered a few small (size 1) slabs in north-facing alpine terrain over the past few days (see this MIN report for an example). Although small, they serve as a reminder to use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where small avalanches could have severe consequences. Small loose wet avalanches also remain possible on sun-exposed slopes.
Snowpack Summary
Most slopes have entered a daily melt-freeze cycle, with the exception of north-facing terrain above roughly 2000 m. On these colder slopes, you may find 10-20 cm of powder or isolated wind slabs. Elsewhere, the surface has been melting each day and then freezing into a hard crust overnight. Snow is disappearing rapidly at lower elevations.
