<p>Backcountry travelers could trigger large avalanches of recent new snow today. As the sun comes out, warming air temperatures and strong sunshine may further contribute to snowpack instability. Consider avoiding avalanche terrain near areas where clues to unstable snow are present, such as slopes filled in with wind drifted snow, snow surface cracking, roller balls, pinwheels, or recent avalanches.</p>
