Be alert to conditions that change throughout the day and with elevation and sun exposure. Expect wet loose activity in steep, southerly aspects, sheltered from the cooling wind. Be aware of wind slabs covering near-surface facets in northerly aspects and the presence of a deeper instability in all aspects. (NVE)

Small wet avalanches are expected in steep sun exposed terrain. In the alpine there may be smaller areas with wind deposited snow resting on a layer of faceted snow. Keep a safe distance to glide cracks. Be aware of the risk of slipping where the snow surface is hard and icy. (NVE)
