Highlights

Overall avalanche danger is low, though small, wet point releases should be on your radar if you can find steep slopes holding snow. With unseasonably warm temperatures expected, the main concern over the net few days will be falling rock. Wear a helmet and climb early.

Avalanche Discussion

It'll be unseasonably warm today and tomorrow. It is unlikely that this will be enough to cause wet loose slides, but if you are post-holing in wet snow it will be best to avoid steep slopes if they have snow on them. The bigger concern is rock fall. Warm temperatures will loosen up snow holding back rocks wanting to tumble. Climb early, keep your eyes up, and wear a helmet.
