It will be possible to trigger wet loose avalanches today. Warm temperatures and sunshine will destabilize snow surfaces, beginning on very steep east-facing slopes and then moving to the south and west. These avalanches will most likely be small but could still easily knock you off your feet. Natural wet loose avalanche activity is less likely, but minimize time under very steep, rocky slopes above you that are warming in the sun. If you step off you sled into ankle deep slush, it’s time to move to shadier slopes.
Cornices are big this time of year. Many cornices have started cracking and can break unexpectedly. Remember that they crack much further back than you expect - something to keep in mind as you climb or ride along ridges. Minimize your time spent on slopes beneath cornices.
