Avalanche Summary

Spotty clouds with scattered sun warming a foot of recent storm snow means highly variable conditions from slope to slope and hour to hour. Dry slab avalanche concerns have diminished, but as the snow warms and wets, you can push loose avalanches. In consistently steep terrain, one of these could grow large enough to harm you. Consider the terrain below, and the consequences of getting caught.
