Primary Problem: Loose Wet
Bottom Line: This morning, avalanche conditions are generally safe and slides are unlikely. Warming during the day will unlock snow surfaces and make wet loose and wind slab avalanches possible. Move to lower-angle terrain or colder, drier slopes on northern aspects when the top few inches of snow become wet or roller balls signal deteriorating stability. The most likely location for instability related to wind-drifted snow is immediately below corniced ridgelines and in upper elevation gullies holding dry snow. Either avoid these specific locations or evaluate drifted slopes for instability.
