Strong solar input and daytime warming have created a wet slab problem. These slabs can be triggered from loose point releases or they can fail seemingly unprompted in the form of a large glide release.

Dry surface snow is insulating a rain-saturated wet slab that extends almost to the ground. This is a snowpack weakness that will only heal with cold. Given the mild weather forecast, this layer is expected to persists for several days.

As the snowpack warms and weakens during the day wet slab avalanche are more likely. Large and destructive wet slab avalanches have been observed recently.

Dry surface snow is insulating a rain-saturated wet slab that extends almost to the ground. This is a snowpack weakness that will only heal with cold.&nbsp; Rain at treeline and below will destabilize the snowpack further.
Warm temperatures and rain yesterday have added moisture to an already saturated snowpack below treeline. Cooling temps overnight have created a very thin surface crust but if this crust breaks down there will be very little cohesion in the snowpack
Overnight and continued rain below 1100m will weaken the upper snowpack. These conditions are dangerous in any steep terrain even if heavily forested. These avalanches will be slow moving but very heavy and difficult to manoeuvre out of.
Rain to at least 1900m has weakened the upper snowpack and is likely to be saturated at the lower elevations.
