In sintesi

The danger rating is MODERATE on steep slopes above 9500' that face northwest, north, northeast and east.

It is still possible to trigger an avalanche that breaks into weak faceted snow that formed in January.

The likelihood of triggering an avalanche is low but the consequences are high. Since you can't tell which slopes will avalanche and which won't, this makes for a dangerous situation.

    The only real threat out there right now is the diminishing chance that you could trigger an avalanche that breaks deep into old, weak, faceted snow. This problem exists in the higher elevation, steep, northerly facing terrain. The old weak layers are gaining strength, but they still remain weak enough to be a concern. Most slopes will stay in place, some may not. It's hard to tell which will slide and which won't, so it's kind of like rolling the dice. Avoiding the described terrain is the only sure way to not get caught.

Snow and Weather

General Conditions: Warm temperatures is the headlining weather feature. Highs on Monday were in the mid 40s with a few stations hitting 50°F. Wind was a bit blustery from the southwest. It is in the moderate to strong range. Springtime conditions are in full effect with sun/heat crusts present in the morning and the snow becoming damp and sloppy by late afternoon.

Mountain Weather: Temperatures will once again get into the 40s today. It looks like the wind is going to remain fairly strong today from the west. Warm wind tends to melt snow rather fast. It's like pointing a hair dryer at the snow. We have more wind and warm temperatures in store through the rest of the week. Next week looks crazy warm.
