Avalanche problems
Avalanche Summary
Another night of little to no freeze means you can trigger avalanches in wet snow again on Thursday. The snowpack will break down quickly at lower elevations. If the snowpack doesn't support the weight of you or your snowmachine, or if you're sinking past your ankles into wet surface snow, you should avoid steep slopes or call it a day.
Prolonged warm weather means cornices can break naturally. They often break further back than you expect. Avoid traveling on or underneath large overhanging cornices and give them a wide berth.
The best way to avoid these problems is to start and end your day early.
