Snowpack Discussion
The snowpack is generally strong, with a typical spring diurnal pattern: daytime warming melts and softens the upper snowpack, then overnight cooling usually forms a hard crust at higher elevations. Lower elevations likely will not refreeze, and are experiencing an all-melt, no freezescenario, and are melting out quickly. Isothermal snow conditions exist below 1500 m.
Dormant weak layers may still exist in isolated alpine terrain, but likely require a very heavy trigger, such as a cornice fall. It's a good idea to keep this on your radar with forecast high freezing levels, strong sun, and a limited overnight refreeze.
