Avalanche Summary
Avalanche danger will rise on Wednesday as the weak and shallow snowpack is overwhelmed by additional storm snow. You could trigger avalanches on most steep slopes. Avalanches in the storm snow could step down to lower weak layers. Avalanches will be largest on northerly and easterly-facing slopes, where winds will leave stiff layers of drifted snow. Look for and avoid areas that look smooth and rounded. Make careful terrain choices. You will find the safest riding options by sticking to slopes less than about 30 degrees in steepness, without steep slopes above.
