Avalanche Summary

You can expect generally safe avalanche conditions on most slopes. Start and end your day early to avoid triggering a small wet avalanche in the afternoon. As snow surfaces warm, cohesionless wet snow can slide on frozen crusts buried in the upper snowpack.

Steer around wind-drifted features with high-consequence runouts below. Although there are very few places you can trigger a slab avalanche, it could ruin your day if you are unlucky enough to trigger a small one that takes you over a cliff or into rocks.
