Aspen

You might trigger an avalanche in wet snow that may gouge deeper, or run as a wide slab on a crust-on-dust layer buried one to two feet deep. If you are sinking into wet snow past your ankles, head to less steep, consequential, or colder slopes. Carefully monitor the breakdown of overnight surface crusts. Once they soften, you could trigger an avalanche. Whichever flavor you encounter, the advice is the same: start and end your day early to maximize your time for safe travel.
