Sunday morning, April 5, 2020
Most terrain has generally LOW danger. An isolated or MODERATE danger exists for triggering an avalanche on a buried persistent weak layer of loose, sugary, faceted snow. Areas of very steep, rocky, radical terrain where the snowpack is shallower and weaker are the most suspect. With a strong sun this time of year, always be alert to an increasing danger for loose, wet avalanches on sun-exposed slopes. Signs of instability include rollerballs pinwheels and point release sluffs. Get off of and out from under steep slopes that become wet and sloppy.
