Avalanche Summary

Conditions are tricky and still concerning. Avalanches are becoming harder to trigger, but super consequential if you do. The most dangerous slopes face northwest through north to east at all elevations. In this low-feedback, high-consequence environment, it's best to err on the side of caution and avoid travel on or below slopes steeper than about 35 degrees. Chasing sun-warmed snow and safer conditions on south or southwest-facing slopes could be a better bet.
