In sintesi

Loose wet avalanches will become easier to trigger as warmth slowly penetrates the snowpack again today. Travel may be challenging below 10,000’ on many aspects due to heavy, wet snow. While the avalanche danger will be Low, dense sluff debris can be dangerous, particularly in very steep terrain or couloirs with a fall hazard below. Plan your day in anticipation of increasing danger in the afternoon or during rapidly warming periods due to sunshine or thin clouds. Frank Carus, Forecaster

    A light refreeze overnight hardened the surface of the snowpack which has settled and warmed for the past several days. Refrozen snow surfaces will soften today with sluffs becoming possible as temperatures warm. Periods of thinner clouds or sunshine may accelerate warming on sunny aspects and may lead to natural point releases in warm areas such as around cliff bands or wind-sheltered cirques.

Avalanche Discussion

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Southwest flow continues across the area with slightly warmer readings tomorrow. Expect temperatures to reach 40 degrees at 10,000’ in the afternoon. Skies should remain mostly cloudy which will temper the solar gain that might otherwise cause more significant wet avalanche activity. The slower rate of melting should limit avalanche activity to the human triggered rather than natural variety. Keep the potential for small but powerful loose, wet sluffs in mind if you choose to venture into steep terrain tomorrow. Any debris will move slowly but carry the sort of mass that causes problems in steep or consequential terrain. Avalanche danger will be Low tomorrow with avalanche activity generally limited to wet loose sluffs in steep terrain.
