Steamboat & Flat Tops

Avalanche conditions are generally safe and breezy conditions will temper the warming of the snow surface on Tuesday. With above-freezing temperatures and some sunshine, you might trigger avalanches in wet snow at lower elevations.

Signs of wet snow are small avalanches running from steep, rocky terrain, rollerballs or pinwheels in the surface snow, and gloppy snow sticking to the bottom of your gear. Continue to use caution when traveling in steep, consequential terrain where even a small avalanche can send you tumbling. Get into and out of the mountains early to avoid wet snow avalanches.
