Although the danger has decreased significantly since mid-week, today we will again see a MODERATE danger for loose wet, and wet slab avalanches on all aspects and elevations with the exception of high elevation, northerly aspects. Get in and out early. Stay off of and out from under steep slopes if they start to become wet and sloppy.
A MODERATE danger remains for human triggered avalanches failing on a buried persistent weak layer. This is a low probability, high consequence scenario. You are mostly likely to encounter this problem on steep, northerly aspects right around treeline with isolated areas above. Warm temperatures this past week have greatly decreased the likelihood at lower elevations and on westerly aspects and although not out of the question, I suspect we have turned the corner in these areas.
