Northern San Juan

With downright hot weather in store, the concerns of Wet avalanche activity increase into the start of the week and sooner each day. Get into and out of the mountains early to avoid wet avalanches, and know that today's timing could be a bit late for tomorrow. Small wet avalanches in steep rocky terrain and wet, gloppy surface snow are signs of increasing wet avalanche danger. Loose snow slides could step down, triggering slab avalanches on some slopes. If you sink more than about 8 inches into cohesionless snow, it's time to call it a day. Avoid traveling under or near cornices, especially later in the day.
