Avalanche Summary

You can trigger a wet avalanche on steep, sunny slopes in the afternoon. Warm temperatures and sunshine will melt the snow surface, making it easy to trigger mostly small but potentially dangerous avalanches on slopes facing east through south to west. Watch for rollerballs and small natural loose avalanches as a sign that the snowpack is heating up, and you should move to a different slope or stick to low-angle terrain.
