A historic low-snow year is quickly coming to an end amid historic heat. There are very few slopes where you might still be able to trigger a dangerous wet avalanche. If you are traveling on very steep slopes with continuous snow cover, pay attention to how wet the snow is. If you are sinking well past your ankles into wet snow, you should avoid traveling above terrain traps like a creek or cliffs, where even a small avalanche could be dangerous.
