Northern San Juan

It is going to be hot. You are most likely to encounter avalanches in the afternoon in above treeline areas. Get into and out of the mountains early to avoid wet avalanches. Signs that the danger is increasing are small wet avalanches in steep rocky terrain and wet, gloppy surface snow that sticks to everything. If you sink more than about 8 inches into cohesionless snow, it's time to call it a day. Steer clear of cornices.
