Change is in the air, but even short periods of sunshine combined with high freezing levels can pack a punch. Loose wet avalanches are possible on sun-exposed slopes in the afternoon.
Steer clear of cornices from above and below.

More snow for Colorado & New England
Updated 1 day ago
Colorado, Utah, Montana, and New England have picked up significant snowfall over the past week with late-season powder days for areas that remain open. An active pattern will persist across Colorado this week while New England will be hit with another strong and cold storm. Early next week, a storm will bring moderate to heavy snow to much of the West.

2020-2021 Season Recap
Updated 1 week ago
Most ski areas are closed for the season and high pressure will dominate the weather pattern for the foreseeable future, so I decided that now would be a good time to wrap up the winter forecasting season. Most regions of BC experienced an above-average winter in terms of snowpack, except for the southeast corner where snowpack has been below average.
Avalanche Forecast
Avalanche Forecasts are for use by experienced backcountry travelers in uncontrolled sidecountry and backcountry terrain. These forecasts and conditions do not apply to open, in-bounds terrain at ski resorts, which is subject to avalanche control by local resort ski patrol.
Snowpack Discussion
The snow surface consists of a melt-freeze crust on all aspects of the mountain top. Only high alpine slopes above 2100 m and due North may still hold some softer, dryer snow. With a limited freeze overnight and rising freezing levels by Thursday afternoon, this crust may break down quickly with mostly wet snow surfaces. There are no layers of concern in the snowpack, which has been melting and settling over the past week. Lower elevations have mostly beenisothermaland melting away rapidly.
Large cornices loom along many ridgelines. They are weak and very unpredictable.
.
Avalanche Activity
There have been no recent avalanche reports since last Saturday.
Last weekend, reports of natural loose wet avalanches size 2-3 on solar aspects continued. Explosive work produced size 2-3.5 wet slab avalanches, failing on crusts in the upper snowpack and gouging to the ground as they ran to near valley bottom.
As the weather pattern changes and the temperatures start to fall, a decline in natural avalanche activity is likely. However, solar slopes and weak cornices remain suspect when the sun is shining. It can really pack a punch this time of year, even for short periods of time.
