The main concern over the weekend will be Loose Wet avalanches on steep slopes high in the alpine. Expect normal springtime conditions, with good stability in the morning, before our ability to trigger avalanches increases as the snow surface warms. Pay attention to rollerballs and a wet snow surface. Avalanches will be small but could be dangerous if swept off your feet in consequential terrain.
