• You are likely to trigger wind slab avalanches in some steep drifted terrain today. Avoid stiffer, recently drifted fresh snow in steep lee terrain and in and around terrain features like gully walls, outcroppings, or under cliffs.
• Avoid and stay out from under large and overhanging cornices along major ridge-lines, which are likely to break further back than you expect and could trigger avalanches on slopes below. It's especially important to stay out from under these guys when they are forming with drifting and during the heat of the day, when some may naturally fail and calve off in large chunks.

Avalanches could step down to or just below dusty warm snow that was on the surface for during the Mid-March warm spell. In many cases, this interface between last week's snow and the older March melt-freeze snow appears weak, with the dusty layer at or perhaps just above a potential bed surface. In some cases, a thin layer consisting of small-grained sugary facets likely developed due to the strong temperature gradient right at this interface. Avalanches including Thursday's and the weekend's snow could be 1 to 2 feet deep, and they could be fairly wide, failing as well connected slabs on some slopes.

It's not supposed to get too warm today, but you have to suspect seasonal warming this time of year anytime there is significant fresh snow. It won't take much warming to dampen the new snow, and as it is initially warmed, loose wet avalanches will become likely in steep terrain. Natural avalanches are also possible with seasonal warming, as the fresh snow becomes damp and more cohesive. If the sun peaks out from behind cloud-cover, the snow could go from nice powder to a cohesive and volatile moist layer almost instantly.
