Indicates the time of day where the primary concern is likely to be a problem. Avalanche conditions can change between shady, cool mornings and sunny, warm afternoons. If both icons appear, it means the primary concern is present all day.
Icy conditions. The surface of the snowpack is a hard crust. Crampons or walking cleats may be necessary on some slopes to prevent a nasty fall.

We expect a sharp increase in avalanche activity on Thursday due to a powerful Pacific storm that should bring snow and wind. Avalanches will fail on either a storm snow interface or on the ice crust currently on the surface.
The surface of the snowpack will be a hard ice crust until it starts snowing again. Crampons may be useful for backcountry walks. By Wednesday, icy surfaces should be covered by new snow.
The snowpack continues to refreeze. The surface layers are a thick knife hard crust. The mid and lower snowpack, likely remains moist.
