Confidence
High
- We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.
Avalanche Summary
A natural size 2 glide slab avalanche was observed in the highway corridor on Friday.
On Wednesday, a few natural wet loose avalanches up to size 2 were observed in the forecast area.
Snowpack Summary
Cooler temps will keep a surface crust intact on all but lower elevation solar aspects.
The April 13th crust is down 15-30cm. The robust March 21 crust is down 40-80cms. These crusts could provide sliding layers when/if things warm up dramatically.

High pressure creating a stable weather pattern with continued overnight freeze/ recovery.

Terrain and Travel Advice
- A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
- Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
- Avoid steep, sun-exposed slopes when the air temperature is warm or when solar radiation is strong.
