On Saturday in the Monument I observed signs of recent wet loose activity on steep solar slopes. Increased clouds for Sunday and moderate winds could prevent this problem from gaining much momentum, but it is worth paying attention to the condition of surface snow before choosing to travel on any sunny, steep, and consequential terrain. If you notice active roller balls, or have boot penetration past your ankles, these are good signs to back off and seek lower angle terrain or less solar aspects.
