Avalanche Summary

Avalanche conditions are generally safe, as recent warm weather has dramatically reduced the snowpack. Any avalanches will likely be wet, small, and isolated due to the shallow and rapidly melting snowpack. These avalanches are generally inconsequential unless you find yourself in very steep alpine terrain.

Warm weather and poor overnight freezes could make travel on snow difficult or impossible. Anticipate a short window for snow travel before surfaces become unsupportable, so be sure to get in and out of the mountains early.
