Highlights

Low danger does not mean no danger.  When the sun comes out, look for rollerballs or pinwheels on  rapidly warming slopes to alert you to a loose snow problem.  Continue to avoid terrain traps such as gullies, or trees/cliffs that would boost your trauma if caught in an avalanche.

Avalanche Discussion

Although there are no listed avalanche problems, you may be able to trigger an avalanche today in isolated pockets of wind drifted snow.  Look for actively blowing snow, rippled texture, or stiffer snow that supports your boards or machines to alert you to the problem.  A lack of forecasted new precipitation, winds or intense warming means that avalanches are unlikely.  This may change on Friday as a new system arrives tonight.
