Be conservative with terrain for the next little while. Recent storm snow will remain a concern until we return to a spring snowpack.
Be cautious anywhere this layer isn't capped with a supportive melt-freeze crust. This layer will remain a concern until spring conditions return.
Concern remains for basal instabilities on high north areas. Be cautious in thin areas. This is low probability high consequence.
Numerous recent loose wet / loose dry avalanches up to sz 2.5 on all aspects. Two recent skier accidental avalanches also occurred on north aspects at 2250m failing below the recent storm snow down 75-100cm.
Surface crust on all but shaded/north aspects above 2300m. Below this 50-75cm of recent storm snow overlies a buried crust. This interface has been reactive to skier traffic, and will remain a concern until conditions return to a spring snowpack. Be patient and conservative with terrain for the next little while.

Another system is set to hit us Sunday night with forecasted precip amounts 10- 30cm by Wednesday. This system is starting warm, which could mean rain below 2000m on monday. Keep an eye on new snow amounts, and how it bonds with the existing surfaces.
More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.
