Avalanche Summary
An Avalanche Watch is in effect. Very dangerous avalanche conditions will develop on Saturday evening and last through Sunday. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended from Saturday evening through Sunday.
You can still trigger a large, deadly avalanche that breaks deeply into the snowpack. For Saturday, you might see shooting cracks and small avalanches near the surface as the storm snow accumulates on steep, drifted slopes. But beware of the thinner portions of the slope, closer to rocks and trees. These are the most likely places you’ll trigger a deadly avalanche. New snow and poor visibility will make it difficult to recognize these areas. Reduce your chances of triggering a deadly avalanche by sticking to slopes less than about 30 degrees without steep slopes above you.
