Highlights
Overall avalanche danger is low, though small, wet point releases and cornice breaks should be on your radar if you can find steep slopes holding snow. The main concern with warm temperatures is falling rock. Wear a helmet and climb early.
Avalanche Discussion
It has been unseasonably warm and this trend continues. Temperatures near treeline have not dropped below freezing for 3 days.
Expect rock fall as warm temperatues loosen up snow holding back rocks wanting to tumble. Climb early, keep your eyes up, and wear a helmet.
If you can find aspects still holding snow, small loose wet point releases or cornice breaks should be on your mind. If you are post-holing in wet snow, it will be best to avoid steep slopes.
