Avalanches are unlikely in the morning, but rising temperatures, high angled sun, and possible green-housing will cause increasing danger of loose wet avalanches on steep slopes during the day.
- Rapidly warming temperatures, roller balls, pin wheels, and other natural or triggered loose wet avalanches are all red flags indicating wet avalanche potential.
- If the snow you are riding in gets sticky and slushy or wet, it's time to move to someplace cooler or off and out from under steep hills.
- Stay off and out from under large ridge top cornices, which could break much further back than expected and could trigger avalanches on slopes below.
