Poor snowpack structure remains with a dense, cohesive slab over top of weak, faceted snow, but time and warm daytime temperatures have helped to stabilize the snowpack. In my travels on Thursday, primarily below treeline, I performed multiple stability tests with no results. Areas where you are most likely to trigger an avalanche are on steep slopes near and above treeline that face NW-N-E. If you decide to step out into this kind of terrain, choose planar slopes without complex terrain features. Avoid likely trigger points such as steep convexities, or shallow points along slope margins or near rock outcrops.

Outlying problem areas may still exist on upper elevation slopes facing W and SE. Data is sparse in these areas but we're making a concerted effort to get out and have a look at them.

Photo illustrates the poor structure that still exists. This test below treeline on a west aspect produced no results.
