Avalanche Summary

New snowfall and strong southwest winds on Saturday will increase the avalanche danger. Snow accumulates throughout the day, increasing the chances you could trigger a small avalanche in stiff wind-drifted snow above treeline. Expect changing conditions and be on the lookout for cracking or collapsing in the new snow as a sign of increasing instability.
