Head to high north facing slopes to find the best conditions.
Wet loose avalanches remain possible as warm temperatures continue.
Cornices are weak and may break further back on ridgelines than expected. These large loads can trigger buried weak layers on the slope below.
Wet loose avalanches are still possible as temperatures remain high and the snowpack has limited chance of refreezing overnight.
On Saturday, wet loose avalanches were observed to size 1. And on Friday, skiers remotely triggered a slab on a northeasterly lee ridge feature at treeline near Mt. Fisher.
Looking forward avalanche activity is expected to be limited to small, wet avalanches on steep slopes.
The snow surface is either a thin crust or moist snow to 2500 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.
