Avalanche Discussion

With increasing clouds throughout the day and a high temperature in the mid 30's I do not expect the snow surface to warm up enough to bring on any significant wet loose avalanche activity. Always keep an eye on the surface conditions. If surface snow becomes wet and slushy to a depth of 6" or more, small wet loose avalanches could be triggered.

Wind slabs from the last storm and mostly nonreactive. Watch for pockets of wind slab that could release in isolated steep terrain resulting in small avalanches.
