SATURDAY NIGHT...MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A 40 PERCENT CHANCE OF RAIN. LOWS AROUND 31. LIGHT WINDS. With fairly cool temperatures yesterday and several warm days previous the snow has seen quite a bit of settlement and consolidation and is now fairly stable in place. Today will see warmer temperatures and some rain creating moderate avalanche danger for smaller slides. |
| Tip: | As spring comes on we often see small slides during the heat of the day. This occurs more often in steeper more open areas. Many of these slides are created when the snow surface goes for long periods without freezing. Small slides are good as they remove mass from the main avalanche area and help to reduce the risk towards larger slides in the future. |
