Highlights
Daily avalanche bulletins have concluded for the season.
Most alpine trails are still snowbound and involve travel through avalanche terrain. Be prepared.
Snowpack Summary
After a big snowfall year and cooler spring temps, there is still quite a bit of snow in the alpine.
The snowpack has now transitioned to a summer snowpack. It has undergone numerous freeze/thaw cycles and been exposed to multiple rain events.
After cold clear mornings expect the surface to be firm and icy, then softening with daytime heating and sun.
Avalanches are still possible. Especially after heavy rainfall, sudden intense heating or with summer snow squalls.
