If you see evidence of avalanches in the back country please enter a public observation. Cloudy with isolated showers PM. Light Westerly winds - 45kph developing at night. Freezing level - 2400m. In Spring be prepared for variable surface conditions. Icy melt/freeze crusts may be encountered especially, in the morning. Carrying ski crampons and/or an ice axe and crampons is a good idea.
A thin (melt/freeze) crust may have formed overnight. The underlying snow pack is currently soft as the result of recent rainfall and high freezing levels (at least 1900m since Monday 3/11).
