Lots of snow on top of weak layer...considerable avalanche danger!!
I know we are all anxious to get in lots of riding...been waiting a while, but do your homework and stay away from avvy terrain.
Take care and come home
SNOWPACK SYNOPSIS
Although briefly decreasing winds and snowfall have allowed
for a slight danger decrease from the recent avalanche
warning situation, significant weak layers remain buried in
an overall scary snowpack structure. Hence high danger
continues above about 5000 feet in steeper avalanche terrain
of the Olympics and Cascades near and west of the crest,
with a slightly lower but still considerable avalanche
danger at lower elevations and along the Cascade east
slopes. Back country travelers should exercise significant
caution in avalanche terrain with travel not recommended on
steeper wind loaded slopes at higher elevations.
