Avalanche Summary
Increasing winds and clouds will lessen the chance of wet avalanches on Sunday. Avalanche conditions are generally safe, but you still need to exercise caution on very steep slopes, 40 degrees and over. In this type of terrain, you can trigger a small avalanche in a pocket of drifted snow near the ridgetop that entrains wet snow as it runs down the slope. A snowpack that is supportable, with new snow that has already gone through a melt-freeze cycle, is where you will find the safest conditions in steep terrain.
