Another day of relatively calm winds, sunny skies, and warming temperatures on Sunday means you can trigger an avalanche where you find wet snow on steep slopes. Watch for rollerballs and pinwheels shedding off steep slopes as a sign that you can trigger avalanches in wet snow. Sinking past your ankles into wet snow is another sign. If you see these signs, then it's time to move to colder slopes or slopes less than about 35 degrees.
Most slides will be small, but you should steer around very steep features where an avalanche could sweep you off your feet and into consequential terrain below. Even small loose avalanches can be dangerous if they push you over rocks and cliffs.
