Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were observed on Thursday.  On Wednesday, small 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, particularly on southerly aspects. Surface crusts may form overnight but will melt quickly in the morning. The upper snowpack is well-settled and bonding to a buried crust. Below treeline there are still open creeks, alder, and other early-season hazards. Expect snow depths around 200 cm at 1300 m and 60 cm at 800 m.
