It's a good time to explore more complex terrain.
Remain cautious when travelling on or under corniced ridges.
Cornices are large this time of year and can surprise you by breaking further back than expected; give them a wide berth when traveling on ridgetops.
No new avalanches have been reported.
Recent observations are currently very limited in this region. Thank you for sharing observations to the Mountain Information Network if you head into the backcountry.
A typical spring diurnal scenario is underway.
The snowpack is generally well-settled and strong. High freezing levels and sun have made the upper snowpack moist or wet, while cooling at night may have formed a brief crust at upper elevations. Lower elevations are melting out rapidly.
