We are wrapping up our advisory season this week. There will be no more regular advisories, though we may post intermittently when we are in town and have something worth noting.

Cornices are continuing to drop and trigger large wet slab avalanches on the March crust, and will continue to do so throughout the spring. The cornice-triggered slab cycle usually hits the lower elevation slopes closer to town first and migrates up to the higher Icefield area slopes later in the spring, though the record warm temperatures this spring may speed up the process. Beware of traveling under any slopes with large cornices that have not yet dropped, especially on warm days or after nights when the snow has not frozen deeply.

Glide avalanches are also likely to continue, especially on sunlit slopes on warm days, or during heavy rain. Stay off the glide plates and out from under slopes with glide cracks.

Humans are likely to trigger wet sluffs, and natural sluffing will continue as the snowpack thaws. The recent sluffs have been small and slow, but even small slow sluffs can carry people into places they might not want to go.

We have had no reports of human-triggered slabs for a couple weeks now, but they are still possible, particularly at higher elevations as the snowpack wets out.

Thank you for your support this season.
