Primary Problem: Wind Slab
Bottom Line: Today is a transition day, between the warmth and mostly dry weather of the last week and the snowy pattern that is setting up for the coming week. This transition leaves us in a bit of a lull today, with large avalanches unlikely and generally safe conditions. Look out for Wet Loose avalanches if you’re sinking more than ankle deep into wet snow and small Wind Slab avalanches if you’re getting into very steep, exposed terrain.
