▲ poor visibility / whiteout — high severity
poor — visibility 500 m (<1 km) — navigation + terrain assessment hard; whiteout is a leading AU rescue cause. Carry a compass/GPS bearing plan and known bail lines.
▲ wet-loose warming — high severity
warming -3.5→9.1 °C through the day — wet-loose / point-release on sun-warmed N/NW/W aspects. Tour early, be off steep solar slopes by early afternoon.
