Travel and Terrain Advice
A period of calmer conditions brings increasing stability to most of the region however avalanche problems persist. Be cautious of rising temps and unexpected sunny periods which may cause the avalanche problems to wake up and become reactive. Cornice failures and glide avalanches continue to be an ongoing concern at this time of year. Avoid travel on steep South and East facing slopes prone to glide avalanches and below cornices. The next report will be issued Tuesday morning at 7am.
