Although unlikely, with above-freezing temperatures and some rain on Thursday, small wet loose snow avalanches could occur on the surface. Keep an eye on how the surface snow conditions change throughout the day.<\/p> <\/div>\n

\n Warm temperatures and rain could destabilize the surface snow and trigger small wet loose snow avalanches. Pay special attention to steep slopes, areas near rocky cliffs, and natural traps, where even a small avalanche could have consequences. <\/div>\n <\/section>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n

Avalanche Summary<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

A wet, loose snow avalanche within the past 48 hours (size 1, triggered by human intervention) was triggered while skiing in the Coul\u00e9e des M\u00e9l\u00e8zes area on an east-facing slope. The incident was reported by MIN<\/a>.<\/p>
