Avalanche Summary
Recent weather developed a highly variable and firm snow surface, making triggering an avalanche difficult. You are most likely to trigger an avalanche where winds are drifting new snow into small cohesive slabs on lee slopes. You will find drifted snow below ridgelines and on the sides of gullies on north to northeast through east-facing slopes.
