Avalanche Summary

Sunday night's snowfall will drift into dangerous slabs at upper elevations on Monday. You can easily trigger an avalanche where west-southwest winds deposit slabs two to three feet thick on northerly or easterly-facing terrain. Slabs will grow deeper and more dangerous at lower elevations by Tuesday. Pay attention to localized drifting patterns and avoid wind-loaded slopes steeper than about 30 degrees.
