Ongoing warm weather and the lack of solid overnight freezes will make the snowpack wet and unstable. Natural avalanche activity is a clear indicator of this hazard. You can easily trigger wet avalanches on steep, sunny slopes as the day heats up or if you find yourself sinking into unsupportable snow. Even a small wet sluff can gain mass and punch out a larger wet slab as it gains mass, creating a much more dangerous avalanche.

In addition, there is still a looming chance to trigger a large dry slab avalanche near and above treeline, on north-facing slopes.
