Avalanche Summary

Recent loose wet avalanches were noted up to size 1 in steep terrain, entraining the top 15 to 20 cm of snow.

Snowpack Summary

Warm weather is melting the snow surface to the top of the highest mountains. Crusts may form overnight, but will melt quickly in the morning. The 80-100 cm of storm snow that fell last week is rapidly settling and bonding to a buried crust. Travel has improved below treeline, but there are still open creeks, alder, and other early-season hazards. Expect snow depths around 200 cm at 1200 m and 60 cm at 800 m.
