- AVALANCHE FORECAST: A small Wet Loose avalanche, a falling cornice, or a person's weight could trigger a dangerous avalanche that breaks on buried weak layers in the snowpack. To mitigate this hazard, choose lower-angle slopes, avoid overhead hazards, and maintain wide safety margins. As temperatures climb, move to shady slopes before the surface snow gets too wet.
