Avalanche Summary
Avoid steep slopes getting direct sunlight that have not already shed snow. Within a couple of hours of sun, about 2 feet of cold snow above the crust is likely to be shed. Southerly slopes will be the most hazardous. Pay attention to slopes high above that might be getting direct sunlight. If you see small roller balls starting at rocks or cliffs, head to shadier, cooler aspects.
You could still trigger a small avalanche in wind-drifted snow at high elevations. These would be particularly concerning in steep consequential terrain. Observing cracks in the snow is a sign to avoid particular slopes.
