An incoming spring storm will drop enough snow to increase the avalanche danger on Monday. Slopes above around 12,000 feet, steeper than about 35 degrees, facing the north and east sides of the compass, will be most dangerous. Look for fresh drifts of new snow on the lee side of ridges, cross-loaded gully features, and terrain depressions. Most avalanches will be small, but they could pose a threat in continuously steep and rocky terrain.
Additional snowfall on Tuesday will expand the number of potential dangerous slopes, and danger will further increase on Wednesday
