An Avalanche Warning is in effect from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday. Several feet of dense, heavy snow and strong winds will create very dangerous avalanche conditions throughout the day. By Tuesday afternoon, precipitation rates will increase and you can easily trigger avalanches large enough to bury you on most slopes. Some of these avalanches will release naturally. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended starting Tuesday afternoon. If you choose to travel in the backcountry on Tuesday, end your day before noon when the storm is expected to overload the snowpack and increase the danger.
