Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches have been reported in this region on Thursday. However, a natural avalanche cycle is expected to begin Saturday with the incoming storm.
Snowpack Summary
25-35cm of new snow is being redistributed by moderate southerly ridgetop winds. The reactivity of the new storm slabs is likely to vary greatly depending on elevation/ temperature and orientation to wind. In general, I would expect the touchiest conditions to exist in exposed, higher elevation terrain.
