  Human-triggered, wet loose avalanches will become possible as surfaces heat up in the sun today. Though peak instability has passed, it's worth avoiding this problem type since the conditions that create wet losose potential create terrible riding conditions.   Steep slopes near cliff bands are especially prone to wet snow avalanche problems. 

  Cornice fall remains a looming threat. Cornices can break further back than expected, so give them a wide margin. Limit exposure beneath large cornices as these can also trigger large slab avalanches.

  The potential for triggering wet slabs has become very unlikely. Weak snow remains deeper in the snowpack but current warming and meltwater is not enough to impact these layers. Exceptions may exist in the terrain, such as in shallow rocky areas. Avoid being on steep slopes when you are sinking to your knees or deeper and you can easily avoid this problem. North and northeast aspects are most suspect.
