Another round of strong sunshine and warming temperatures will heat the snow surface, and wet loose avalanches will become possible this morning and throughout the day. Perhaps yesterday, this happened as the sun first hit the dry snow in the early morning. Today, it will take a little longer for the sun to heat the snow surface as the snow surface this morning is frozen and crusted over.

Look for clues that the snow surface is heating up. First, it will become damp and slightly wet, followed by roller-balls and pinwheels cascading downhill. At this point - it's time to get out of there or head to colder aspects. Don't overstay your welcome on steep, sunlit slopes.

Yesterday's wind slab avalanche off the SLC Twins is enough to make me think about small wind slab avalanches today. These wind slabs will be small and relatively harmless in terrain with clean run-outs and/or where you won't be carried for hundreds of feet downhill. Remember that even a small avalanche in steep exposed terrain can have severe consequences if you're taken off your feet and carried over rocks and cliffs. Always be on the lookout and avoid the stiff/hollow sounding or pillowy and rounded snow.
