Northern San Juan

A couple inches of light and fluffy snow didn't do much to change the avalanche danger. Keep in mind avalanches are not impossible. Steep, unsupported slopes with uneven snow coverage or freshly drifted areas are more prone to avalanche. If you find exceptionally weak, cohesionless snow below the new snow, keep an eye out for fast-moving sluffs that can knock you off of your feet. Choose slopes with clean runouts that do not end in terrain traps such as cliffs, gullies or flat benches, even though the chance of triggering an avalanche is small.
