Avalanche Summary

You can expect generally safe avalanche conditions. Warm, quiet weather makes triggering a large or dangerous avalanches more difficult, but it’s not impossible. Minimize your exposure above consequential terrain like cliffs and gullies on steeper north to east-facing slopes above treeline. Triggering even a small avalanche in a previously wind-drifted area could break around you and might cause harm. If you find a smooth, hard, lens-shaped part of the slope, go around it.
