Comments
Today we noted stable avalanche conditions in the areas we traveled. Our biggest concern in our travels was wet loose avalanches on solar aspects, but it didn't get quite warm enough to start shedding while we where out there. In steep terrain we could see evidence of aging wind slabs, but we did not notice any signs of instability in our particular area. I was able to produce some small dry loose avalanches in steep terrain.
If you wanted to find an avalanche I would guess that the steep rocky areas in the alpine would be your ticket.
For tomorrow I would expect a crust on solar aspects at all elevations and potentially all aspects at low elevations.
