Description
Avalanche conditions are about as quiet as they get. There is very little threat of getting caught in an avalanche right now. My only advise is to avoid being on or below really steep slopes later in the day as the snow becomes overly wet and sloppy. Also stay out of steep walled gullies and ravines.
