Avalanche Summary
Consecutive nights of weak or non-freezing temperatures have elevated the avalanche danger at all elevations. If you sink into wet snow deeper than your boot tops, it is time to exit the mountains. Start and end your day early to limit exposure. Remember, even a small avalanche can have a dangerous outcome if triggered in consequential terrain above cliffs or exposed rocks.
Cornices in the alpine are also weakening due to warm temperatures. Give cornices a large berth while traveling along ridges.
