Highlights
The avalanche danger is LOW, and the snow is mostly stable. Loose-dry avalanches can run on steep, sheltered, north-facing slopes. Although small, these slides can entrain enough snow to create a hazard.
Ice Climbers: Consider the terrain above you and the potential for loose-dry avalanches while planning your climb and belay positions.
