No recent avalanche activity has been reported. We expect small loose wet avalanches to be possible out of steep, rocky features on Sunday.
If you are headed into the backcountry please consider submitting a MIN report.
Strong sunshine and warm temperatures are expected to break down the surface crust at low elevations, and on steep sun affected slopes into the alpine. Snow on north facing alpine slopes will likely remain loose and dry.
The mid and lower snowpack is dense and well-settled with no current concerns.
