Snowpack Discussion
Dry, settled powder may still be found on high north-facing slopes, while elsewhere, a daily melt-freeze cycle is creating a hard crust overnight that softens during the day.
An old persistent weak layer may still be present 100 to 150 cm below the surface on high north-facing slopes, but it is rounding and unreactive under current conditions.
Treeline elevations still hold over 200 cm of snow, but coverage is rapidly thinning at lower elevations.
Avalanche Activity
A few small loose wet avalanches have been observed recently and may continue during periods of warming and sun.
Observations have been very limited recently. If you are out in the mountains this weekend, consider submitting a MIN post.
