Terrain and Travel Advice
- The more the snow feels like a slurpy, the more likely loose wet avalanches will become.
- Watch for wind-loaded pockets especially around ridgecrest and in extreme terrain.
- When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
Problems
Loose Wet
Small wet loose avalanches will become likely with daytime heating and solar exposure. Be cautious around sun-exposed slopes where recent snow overlays a melt-freeze crust.
