Avalanche Summary

Conditions are slowly stabilizing, but lurking weaknesses in the snowpack can still be triggered on a broad spectrum of slopes. Steep north-to-east-facing terrain near and above treeline are the most concerning and likeliest places to get caught in a slide. Safer travel options exist on southerly-facing slopes, where weak snow near the ground isn't as prevalent.
