Avalanche Summary

Warm temperatures and direct sun combined with a weak overnight freeze are causing dangerous avalanche conditions at lower elevations. Start and end your day early to avoid triggering a wet avalanche. Dig below the surface crust and look for wet snow beneath it. Once the crust breaks down wet slides could gouge deeply taking the entire snowpack with it. If you find yourself sinking deeper than your boot tops in wet, unsupportable snow, it's time to call it a day.
