Head to high north facing slopes to find the best conditions.
Please submit any observations or photos from your travels to the MIN.
Cornices are weak and may break further back on ridgelines than expected. These large loads can trigger buried weak layers on the slope below.
Over the weekend, small wet loose avalanches were reported to size 1.
And on Friday, skiers remotely triggered a slab on a northeasterly lee ridge feature at treeline near Mt. Fisher.
The snow surface is likely a crust at higher elevations, transitioning to moist snow as you move below 2000 m. High alpine north facing slopes may still hold dry snow above a thick crust from late March.
The snowpack is quickly disappearing below treeline.
