Avalanche Summary

The conditions are generally safe but that does not mean no danger. Above treeline slopes facing north-to-northeast that hold more than about two feet of recently wind-drifted snow are the most likely places you could trigger an avalanche.

Traveling on slopes less than about 30 degrees, or on wind-sheltered terrain will help you stay safer but you may encounter shallowly-buried obstacles like logs and rocks.
