Avalanche Summary
Look for roller balls and point-release avalanches as the day warms. These could get deeper and sheet off crusts in the upper snowpack. Gully walls and slopes with lots of exposed rock will be the first places to start shedding snow. Even small wet slides are heavy and hard to escape. Use extra caution in consequential terrain. If you start sinking into wet snow, move to cooler aspects and consider your egress slopes back to the trailhead.
On high-elevation, northerly-facing slopes you might find some firm, pillow-shaped snow drifts. Avoid them if they are on steep slopes below ridgelines or along gully walls.
