It may be possible to trigger wet loose sluffs in steep terrain today on many aspects today. With today's temps and direct sun, the snow will become wet, unsupportable and punchy and it will be time to have wet avalanches on your radar. These wet loose sluffs will be enough to knock you off your feet and be dangerous, particularly in steep rocky terrain. Rollerballs and small point releases can be pre-cursors to wet, unstable snow.

On mid and upper elevation shady aspects, you'll likely encounter a poor structure of strong-over-weak snow; the weak snow being sugary, faceted snow formed in early to mid-November. See McKinley Talty's photo from the Cutler Ridge on Saturday below. Although we have not heard of any avalanches triggered on this suspect layering in the Ogden mountains, there have been several triggered in the Salt Lake and Provo mountains, the most recent being on Saturday. Remember that cracking and collapsing are sure giveaways that things are dangerous. The most suspect terrain to trigger a 1-2' deep and 100' wide avalanche would be on these shady slopes and most prominently in any recently wind loaded terrain of the upper elevations.
