Avalanche Summary

On Monday, the weather transitions back to winter. However, a weak overnight freeze and a warm start to the day mean you can still trigger avalanches in wet snow, especially at lower elevations. Start and end your day early to avoid triggering a wet avalanche. Rollerballs and pinwheels in the surface snow are a sign it's getting wet. If you find yourself sinking deeper than your boot tops in wet, unsupportable snow, it's time to call it a day.
