This morning, the danger is MODERATE on steep sunny slopes that face W-S-E and northerly aspects below treeline. As the day heats up, the danger will rise to CONSIDERABLE, and natural and human-triggered avalanches involving wet snow are LIKELY. Most activity will involve wet-loose avalanches, but the potential for wet slab avalanches is increasing each day. Pay attention to the snow surface, and start and end your day early to increase your margin of safety.
The danger is MODERATE on steep slopes facing W-N-E near and above treeline, and on northerly aspects below. In these areas deep and dangerous, human-triggered avalanches failing on a buried persistent weak layer are possible. The danger is greatest on steep slopes near treeline that face N-NE. While the likelihood of triggering this type of avalanche is decreasing, the consequences remain severe.
