Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches have been reported. Natural and human-triggered wet loose avalanches may be possible on Sunday.
If you head out, please consider posting your observations to the Mountain Information Network.
Snowpack Summary
Sunshine and warm temperatures will melt the surface snow on sunny aspects and at lower elevations, creating potential for wet loose sluffs.
Otherwise, reports from the North Shore suggest a strong, well-bonded snowpack.
Typical treeline snow depths range from 100 to 150 cm, and thin quickly below treeline, especially on south-facing slopes.
