It’s a sunny day in May with significant fresh snow in the alpine of Chugach State Park: expect widespread wet avalanche activity.

Be mindful of steep and snowy terrain above you – even if you’re on a flat and snow-free trail.

Also, the fresh snow yesterday was accompanied by moderate to strong winds (predominantly from the SE): expect fresh wind slabs on leeward upper elevation terrain (primarily northerly aspects).
