Weather

Warm, with intense radiation and convective showers.

Snowpack

Persistent problem lingers above 11,000′. We found clean, sharp facets and reactive tests on East aspects above 11,000′ and Southeast as you near 12,000′. These persistent weak layers are stubborn to trigger, but certainly still possible.

Avalanche

Several from 3/23 and 3/24, all failing on faceted weak layers.
