Avalanche Summary

You can expect generally safe avalanche conditions if you start and end your day early. As the day warms, you can trigger small wet avalanches in the surface snow on slopes steeper than about 40 degrees. Call it a day when the surface snow gets wet and gloppy.

Cold snow can still be found on northerly and easterly-facing slopes in the alpine. Be careful below ridgelines and in steep couloir entrances where you see signs of recent wind drifting.
