Northern San Juan

Light snow overnight will help turn the mountains white but do little to impact avalanche danger. Most slopes are generally safe from avalanches. If you were to trigger an avalanche, it would be steep slopes at upper elevations where drifted snow sits on a firm sliding surface. The most problematic slopes are northerly and easterly facing, steeper than about 35 degrees. A small avalanche can be dangerous if taken off-guard in steep, complex terrain. Adjust your travels if you see cracking in drifted snow.
