In sintesi

As the day progresses warm temperatures will be increasing the wet snow avalanche hazard hazard by creating areas of unstable snow on steep slopes. The general avalanche hazard will be low at all elevations during the early morning hours. It will increase to moderate after snow surfaces soften. It will increase to considerable during the warmest portion of the day. Cornices are large and may become unstable. Cornice failures could trigger large wet slab avalanches. Monitor conditions and get off of and out from under steep terrain after significant warming has occurred. This is the last scheduled avalanche hazard bulletin of the 2017/18 season. Thanks to all that have supported the avalanche forecast center by making observations or donations. The center will continue to operate weather stations, post daily 24 hour summaries of data from those stations, post observations and post weekly snowpack summaries through the month of May.

    As the day warms wet loose slides will become likely on steep terrain features and wet slab avalanches will become possible. These wet slides could release naturally or be triggered by skiers or riders. Wet slab avalanches are most likely to be triggered by the failure of a cornice. Cornice failures could occur naturally or be caused by the weight of a person. Be mindful of both the terrain that you are on and the terrain above you.

Avalanche Discussion

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Skies will be clear overnight and through the morning hours. Clouds will be on the increase later in the day ahead of an approaching cold front. Temperatures will drop into the upper 20s and 30s tonight and rise into the 40s, 50s and 60s on Sunday. Winds will back to the southwest and increase to 15 miles per hour during the day.The general avalanche hazard will be LOW in the early morning hours, increase to MODERATE after snow surfaces soften and increase to CONSIDERABLE during the warmest portion of the day. Wet slides are possible on steep terrain features. Wet loose and wet slab avalanches could release naturally or be human triggered. Cornices are large and could fail naturally of from the weight of a person. Large cornice failures could trigger large wet slab avalanches. Monitor conditions and get off of and out from under steep slopes after significant warming has occurred.
