Highlights
The avalanche danger is LOW and human-triggered avalanches are unlikely. Shallow, loose wet avalanches are possible on steep, sun-exposed slopes and winds may create small wind drifts in isolated terrain at the upper elevations.
I'm uncertain how warming may affect the snow today - watch for rapid changes to the snow during any period of warming which may quickly lead to a rise in the avalanche danger.
If you choose to enter big terrain, watch for parties below you and only expose one rider at a time on a steep slope.
