Begin your day early and steer clear of avalanche terrain while daytime warming and sun effect weaken a supportive surface crust.
Persistent slab avalanches remain possible, especially later in the day as the surface crust deteriorates and surfaces become moist from daytime warming and/or solar effect.
Expect wet loose avalanche activity to increase with daytime warming and solar effect.
These may step down to deeper layers resulting in larger-than-expected avalanches.
A widespread melt-freeze crust exists on the surface. Expect the crust to deteriorate, and the surface snow to become moist at lower elevations and south-facing terrain throughout the day.
Several weak layers, including crusts, facets, and/or surface hoar exist approximately 90 and 180 cm below the surface.
Numerous natural, skier, and explosive-triggered large persistent slab avalanches were reported over the weekend. Reports suggest remotely triggered avalanches remain possible.
