Avalanche Summary

Windier weather with some high, thin clouds may help keep surfaces intact, but anticipate that avalanche conditions will worsen throughout the day. If you are planning to ride in steeper terrain, start and end your day early before the snowpack becomes unsupportable and your chances of triggering an avalanche go up. Weak overnight freezes and ongoing warm temperatures will keep wet avalanches on the menu until the pattern changes on Tuesday.
