1. Wet Snow - You can expect some minor wet loose avalanche activity today on aspects facing east, through south, and west, as the strong April sun affects the snow surface. With the old snow surface solidly frozen and only a few inches of drier snow from Wednesday to work with, any wet activity should be small. However, in certain terrain (such as steep-sided gullies) the wet snow could be large enough to carry and/or partially bury you. Consider the consequences of your terrain if you find yourself on a solar aspect today.

2. Wind Drifted Snow - Several days of moderate to strong winds have created isolated pockets of wind-drifted snow at the upper elevations. Although these drifts can be found on all aspects, you are most likely to find them on slopes facing north through east. Any drifts you encounter are likely to be shallow (< 6"), but with a slick surface underneath, any avalanches may run fast and far in steep terrain.
