Terrain and Travel Advice:

Back off slopes as the surface becomes moist or wet with rising temperatures.
Loose avalanches may start small, but they can grow and push you into dangerous terrain.

Wet Loose

Wet loose avalanches are likely in steep or extreme terrain when the snow surface is wet or slushy.

Avalanche Summary

A few small natural and skier triggered wet loose avalanches were observed Saturday afternoon. These avalanches occurred at treeline and ran on the thick crust described in the snowpack summary.

No other recent avalanches have been reported, observations are very limited on the island right now.

Snowpack Summary

A thin crust may exist early in the morning but it will break down quickly. The snow below is likely wet.

A thick crust can be found down 5 to 25 cm at treeline and above. The snowpack below this crust is well settled and strong.

At low elevations the snowpack is disappearing quickly. Where snow remains it is isothermal.
