Continuously assess conditions as you gain elevation. Winter conditions persist at higher elevations.
New wind slabs could form where precipitation falls as snow.
Winter conditions can still be found at treeline and above. Wind slabs will likely be largest and most reactive on Sunday. Wind slabs may not bond well to the underlying crust.
One natural and one human triggered cornice fall has been reported in the past couple days.
If you have any recent photos or observations, please submit them to the Mountain Information Network, observations are limited in the spring.
Storm snow will continue to accumulate at higher elevations. This snow may overlie a crust that it might not bond well too. Below treeline rain will keep the surface wet or moist where snow still exists. Most below treeline terrain is already snow free.
