Description
The snowpack continues to settle and relax. While there is weak snow out there, chances for triggering an avalanche are pretty low. If you're really looking for trouble, you could probably find it in the steepest, highest north facing terrain. If you experience cracking or collapsing (whoomping) of the snowpack, these are red flags and you should avoid any nearby steep slope.
