    No specific avalanche problems of concern exist within the forecast area at this time. Keep an eye out for the unlikely presence of a small, isolated wind slab within the generally wind scoured areas near and above treeline.

    Above freezing air temperatures today will create some areas of snow surface melt. Loose wet avalanche problems remain very unlikely due to the current snowpack structure and distribution in areas of direct sun exposure.

    Firm wind scoured surfaces and crusts exist in most near and above treeline areas and could pose a travel hazard in steep terrain.

Avalanche Discussion

* Observations made yesterday on Silver Peak (Pole Creek area) matched well with recent observations from Ellis Peak (Blackwood Canyon area), and Meiss Ridge (Carson Pass area). Signs of very minor recent wind transport of snow existed with no problematic wind slab development.  Snow surfaces ranged from firm crusts in wind and/or sun exposed areas to soft snow in shaded wind protected areas.

* Recent strong winds have scoured most near and above treeline terrain along the Sierra Crest down to firm crusts.

* Thin snow cover conditions exist throughout the forecast area on all aspects at lower elevations. Thin snow cover or bare ground exists on most sun exposed aspects at all elevations with a few notable exceptions.
