<p>You may be able to trigger small avalanches in wet surface snow on Sunday as temperatures warm. Most will be harmless, but be careful in steep terrain above cliffs, where even small avalanches can be more dangerous. Get into and out of the mountains early to avoid wet snow avalanches. If the surface snow turns wet and sticky, or you see rollerballs or small avalanches running from steep terrain, it's time to call it a day.</p>
