Avalanche Summary

On Sunday, over a foot of snow fell with moderate southwest winds. You can easily trigger an avalanche in the storm snow. In wind-drifted areas, an avalanche could break deeper and grow much larger. Monday afternoon northerly winds will increase and build thicker, more dangerous slabs onto more slopes. Look for safer options in lower-angled wind-sheltered terrain.
