Thursday, March 3, 2022
Unseasonably warm temperatures again today will cause heightened wet avalanche conditions in the backcountry. MODERATE avalanche danger will develop in the midday heat at all elevations, with natural and human triggered wet avalanches possible. Also, people might trigger shallow slab avalanches failing on a buried persistent weak layer, cornice falls, or loose dry avalanches entraining sugary faceted snow in very steep shady terrain.
Evaluate snow and terrain carefully. Watch for and avoid 1)-saturated snow on steep sunny slopes, 2)-cornices and previously wind drifted snow on steep upper elevation slopes, 3)- potential for loose avalanches or sluffs entraining dry faceted snow or wet surface snow in very steep terrain.
