Kernpunkte
The avalanche danger is LOW and avalanches are unlikely. For today the biggest concerns are slide-for-life conditions on the solidly-frozen snow surface or triggering a small avalanche of wind-drifted snow in very isolated areas or extreme/steep terrain at the upper elevations. With shallow early-season conditions, getting caught in even a small avalanche or sliding on a frozen slope could have dire consequences with so many exposed hazards.
Special Announcement
Please do everything possible to avoid getting hurt for yourself and the greater good. As you decide where and how to travel in the backcountry, consider adding just a little extra margin of safety.
