Avalanche conditions are generally safe. You might trigger a small avalanche just below ridges or inside gullies at upper elevations. Look for rounded pillows of snow and feel for stiff, hollow layers. If you see drifts like this, go around them or choose a different slope.
With another day of warm temperatures, you may find wet, cohesionless snow on sunny slopes. Avoid very steep slopes where you find wet snow.
