In sintesi

Wet snow avalanches will be possible on sun affected slopes and low elevations slopes. As the snow becomes wet and slushy to ankle deep or more, wet snow avalanches can happen. Small avalanches on sustained steep slopes and above features like rocks and cliffs can lead to higher consequences of getting caught in an avalanche. When in doubt, move to more shaded slopes or lower angle terrain.

    At the lowest elevations in the forecast zone around Santiam Pass, daytime high temepratures will get into the mid 50's making wet loose avalanches possible on all aspects. 

    Low elevations slopes and slopes in the direct sun during the warmest time of the day will have the greatest likelihood of wet loose avalanches. Monitoring the surface snow is the key to gauging this problem. The deeper the snow becomes wet and slushy, the bigger the avalanches can be. Most wet loose avalanches will be small. If you observe natural wet loose avalanches or recent human triggered avalanches, recoginze this as a sign that you can also trigger an avalanche. 

    Keep an eye on the terrain below and remember getting caught in a small avalanche can still have consequences. Wet loose avalanches can cause you to loose your footing on steep slopes or get pushed over rocks and cliffs. 

Avalanche Discussion

On Friday only very small wet loose avalanches were reported from solar aspects near and above treeline.
