EDIT 6/5/2015 -- There have been reports of some freezes above 11.5k the past two nights, this should be a little helpful.

You may not know this, as the CAIC essentially closes down in June, but it is not typical June snowpack conditions in the Colorado high country. Really good coverage is tantalizing for backcountry skiing, ski mountaineering, couloir climbing, snowshoeing, etc. but it is not as trustworthy as homogenous late-season snow that we usually have.

Last weekend a group of skiers were caught in a wet slide on Buffalo Mountain (likely in the couloir) and one of them was swept off a 75ft waterfall, breaking his knee. Skiers have triggered wet loose and wet slab avalanches at the popular backcountry passes, some of which have run a few feet deep. An avalanche pushed a car off US-6 at Loveland Pass.

A number of issues: The massive dumps in May do have some weak layers present between them. This is only really a concern at higher elevations now that have remained cold enough to retain the layers, but I have seen some recent pics of slab avalanches that did not appear to be purely wet slides.

The bigger issue is that in spring, weeks of melt-freeze cycles quickly consolidate and homogenize the snowpack, making the hazard predictable. Leave early in the morning, summit before noon, and get off slidable terrain before you are sinking into the snow above your ankles. Though this is still the case, a lot of snow especially beneath 13,000 feet is not effectively freezing during these warm nights. It is possible to find slopes and terrain that are still very soft, even in the early morning. This is hampering stabilization and making wet slides more of a possibility earlier in the day.

With the intense summer sun and heat, rock bands and other features are radiating heat intensely. Just about any couloir and gulley I've seen has wet loose avy debris in it triggered by rock bands. I've seen numerous ski tracks off various mountain summits that are now covered in avy debris. As always, do not be fooled by previous trails or tracks as a metric of safety, the timing is what matters.

Avalanche enthusiasts (such as yours truly) are currently trying to put together what is going on up there. It is slowly stabilizing, but not as fast as you'd think. I have never seen this much avalanche debris in my life. Basically anything that can slide has done so over the past week.

tl;dr This is not the time to be complacent in the backcountry. Treat the danger as 'significant' and bring educated partners and your avalanche equipment. The threat is currently very real.
