Assess for the development of warming-related problems during the heat of the day.
Wet loose avalanches may occur on steep sun exposed slopes during the heat of the day. Cornices are also large and may weaken with daytime warming.
We haven't received any reports of recent avalanche activity.
Please consider sharing your observations to the Mountain Information Network.
Around 5 to 10 cm of soft snow overlies a hard melt-freeze crust above 1200 m on northerly aspects. The crust is on the surface on sun-exposed slopes and below 1200 m. The crust will transition to moist snow with daytime warming and freeze back into a crust overnight.
Cornices are large and looming at this time of year.
