Avalanche Summary

You can trigger wet avalanches on upper elevation easterly-facing slopes by mid-morning. Other slopes will wet later and can shed loose avalanches throughout the day. Cloud cover may slow the melt, but a brief period of sun may speed the melt and quickly raise the likelihood of wet avalanches. Monitor the snow surfaces and back off any steep slopes where you sink past your ankles standing in your boots. Start and end your day early.
