- <p>I would expect LW to be the main concern with all the damp new snow that hasn't avalanched especially with continued marginal freezes and high daytime temps. With so much water in the upper snow pack and today's and forecasted temps I wouldn't rule out a wet slab problem.</p> <p>There are still very large cornice in the wasatch and with the temps today and the forecasted warmer temps I would give the corni some space. Remember, cornice can break back behind the actual ridge.</p>
Lots of wet snow out there this afternoon. South side you could punch a pole basket 2'+ deep. No remnant of a MF crust left on W-S-E at noon today. Due north at 10k was damp today and roller balled when skied. I would expect a MF crust on all aspects below 10k tomorrow if we get a freeze. Forecast doesn't look great for good freezes, and there is a lot of snow from the recent storms that needs to transition before I would expect riding conditions to improve.
