In sintesi

Small wet loose avalanches will be possible to trigger on Sunday, especially on sun exposed slopes during the warmest time of the day. Wet loose avalanches will not be big enough to bury a person, but there could be enough snow moving to knock you off your feet in steep terrain. Use timing and aspect to find the best riding conditions and avoid wet loose avalanches when traveling in steep and committing terrain.

    Monitor the surface snow conditions. If the surface becomes wet and slushy be cautious in steep and committing terrain. Wet loose avalanches typically start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan shaped avalanche. Be cautious around steep and sun exposed slopes above terrain traps, cliffs and long sustained steep pitches. Use timing to allow the snow surface to soften and find good riding conditions and move to less sun exposed aspects as the surface snow becomes wet and slushy. 

    If snow surfaces are not warming up and becoming slushy, the wet loose problem will not come on. 

Avalanche Discussion

On Saturday, the light north wind kept snow surfaces cool and sun exposed slopes were just beginning to soften up. On Sunday, the high temperature is expected to be a few degrees warmer compared to Saturday. I expect snow surfaces to warm up and soften a bit more on Sunday. 

No signs of unstable snow or avalanches have been reported in recent days.
