Allow the snowpack time to stabilize after the recent stormy weather. Travel cautiously and keep your eyes open for signs of instability.
Recent stormy weather has led to storm and wind slab formation. Riders could also trigger deeper, older storm and wind slabs, particularly in steep, lee terrain features at higher elevations.
No avalanche activity has been reported since Thursday. However, it remains possible for riders to trigger recently formed wind or storm slabs.
Explosives triggered many large (up to size 3) storm slabs on Wednesday and Thursday, mostly in alpine terrain on westerly and northerly slopes.
Watch out for early-season hazards like creeks, logs, and rocks, particularly at lower elevations.
