Southern San Juan

You could trigger a large, dangerous avalanche on slopes steeper than around 35 degrees. You can trigger an avalanche from lower-angled terrain below steeper slopes. As you travel, know the terrain around and above you and treat suspect slopes with caution.

The avalanche danger decreased from Monday as it gets harder to trigger avalanches. However, human triggreed avalanches are still possible. We are receiving fewer reports of cracking and collapsing along with avalanches. Don't let the lack of obvious signs of instability and the recent change in danger rating lull you into a false sense of security.
