Lo esencial
The avalanche danger is Low and normal caution is advised. Winds today may create small pockets of fresh wind drifts in exposed terrain in the mid and upper elevations, and sluffing in loose, dry snow is possible on steep northerly aspects.
Grey on low elevation southerly aspects indicates that there is little to no snow in this terrain.
Expect a rising avalanche danger this week with snow in the forecast.

This Week: Things are beginning to look more promising with snow forecast to begin later Tuesday and into Wednesday. This initial storm will be on a southwest flow and windy, with snow levels rising to over 7,000 feet before lowering as colder air arrives on Thursday.
