Kernpunkte

Large avalanches are unlikely, but watch for isolated pockets of windblown snow at upper elevations. Generally safe avalanche conditions exist in wind-sheltered terrain or where the snowpack surface is frozen hard.

    If you brave the spring-like conditions that exist at lower and middle elevations, you'll emerge into a different world at upper elevations. 6-10 inches of new snow today will be accompanied by moderate to strong winds blowing out of the SSW. 

    Watch for clues as to which way the wind has deposited snow, and avoid wind loaded steep terrain where fresh slabs may be sensitive to the weight of a person. 

Avalanche Discussion

If I headed out skiing or riding today, I would keep my guard up for new snowfall and where it's forming deeper drifts. Here are a few reasons why:

***Snowcover, espcially below 7,000 feet, is minimal. At all elevation, early season hazards like logs, rock, and bare ground exist.
