Points saillants

With a daytime high in the low 40's F on Monday wet loose avalanches are less likely compared to previous days, but still something to keep on the radar. Any wet loose avalanches will be small, but can be enough to cause skiers and riders to loose their footing in steep terrain.

    Wet loose avalanche activity will be very specific to the terrain and will mostly be associated with steep terrain in the direct sun during the warmer times of the day. As always, monitor the snow surface. As the surface becomes slushy to a depth of 6-8" or more, if you see rollerballs, if you see natural or human triggered wet loose avalanches, these are good indicators that you can trigger wet loose avalanches. These will be more of a concern in steep terrain that has some exposure to cliffs or falling hazard. 

Avalanche Discussion

The upper snowpack has been experiencing melt freeze cycles for most of the month of April. The snowpack is well consolidated and strong. Any avalanche activity will be related to daytime warming of surface snow in the direct sun.

On these warm days, keep monitoring how deep the soft/slushy snow is. Use timing and aspect to find the best riding conditions and be cautious on steep slopes that show signs of potential for wet loose avalanches.

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.
