Avalanche Summary

Although a good overnight freeze and cloudy skies mean many slopes should be safe, sunshine could quickly change this. Pay attention to warming as you travel. If the sun pops out and you are sinking into wet snow, avoid consequential terrain.

There is still cold snow at high elevations above about 12500ft, and you may trigger small avalanches close to ridgelines and beneath cornices. Avoid rounded pillows of firm snow.
