Today the avalanche danger is MODERATE and you will find two distinctly different avalanche problems depending on which side of the compass you choose to travel. Weak layers of faceted snow exist on slopes that face NW-N-NE-E and human triggered avalanches are POSSIBLE. On these Northerly aspects, backcountry travelers will need to carefully evaluate snow and terrain. Strong March sunshine will quickly heat up the solar aspects this morning, and both human triggered and natural wet loose avalanches are POSSIBLE on slopes that face W-SW-S-SE-E. You'll want to move off of steep solar aspects as the day heats up.
Heads Up - another Atmospheric River event moves into our region tonight and the avalanche danger will be on the rise in the coming days.
