Avalanche Summary

Start and end your day early. You can trigger an avalanche in wet snow and they may occur naturally on slopes that have yet to see much warming or sun exposure. A good overnight freeze will hold the snowpack together in the early morning. Once the surface crust breaks down avalanches may start gouging deeper into the snowpack. If you observe roller balls and find yourself sinking into wet snow past your ankles, it is time to head to cooler slopes or call it a day.
