A soggy snowpack likely makes for sub-par travel conditions.
If you venture out, watch for loose wet avalanches gathering mass on steep slopes.
Loose wet avalanches remain possible with saturated surface snow sitting over a crust. These are most likely on steep slopes.
Sluffing and pinwheeling were reported on Monday, although observations are limited. We expect a more widespread avalanche cycle occurred throughout the heavy rain.
Wet loose activity continues to be possible as temperatures remain elevated and rain continues.
Rain continues to saturate the snowpack with 10-30 cm of wet snow sitting above a widespread, thick crust.
Below, the remainder of the snowpack is generally settled and well-bonded.
