Cool wet weather predominated this past week. With the longer days snowpack is consolidating, and foot travel should improve in alpine areas.

CENTRAL COAST;
This area received less moisture than the South Coast. 

SOUTH COAST AND N. CASCADES;
The east side of the ranges have seen the snowline retreat to around treeline. The west side still has a snow to below treeline. Despite the past week being unsettled there has been reports of both successful rock climbing and alpine climbing trips. The snow conditions are improving, although cornices are remain a threat, as do glide cracks and bergshrunds.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK;
The weather forecast is looking better than it has for past couple of weeks. At this time it looks like there may be some convective clouds lingering in the mountains, but a much better outlook than in the past weeks!
