Avalanche Summary

The easiest way to reduce your chances of being caught in a wet avalanche is to start and end your day early and be out of avalanche terrain before your feet start sinking deep into wet snow. If you are planning on traveling in consequential terrain, pay close attention to overnight temperatures to make sure the area you are interested in traveling in gets an adequate overnight freeze.

You can expect a better overnight freeze on Friday night with slightly cooler temperatures and increased cloud coverage this weekend.
