Avalanche Summary

Look for roller balls and point-release avalanches as the day warms. These could get deeper and sheet off above crusts. Look for the sun hitting slopes above you while the valley is still shaded. Gully walls and slopes with lots of exposed rock will be the first places to start shedding snow. Even small wet slides are heavy and hard to escape so use extra caution in consequential terrain. If you start sinking into wet snow, move to cooler aspects and consider your egress slopes back to the trailhead.

On cool northerly facing slopes you can still trigger an avalanche in rounded pillows of firm snow. Avoid these pillows which could be found along gully walls and below ridgelines.
