Avalanche Summary
Recent snow and wind added weight to a tender snowpack, especially at upper elevations. If you trigger an avalanche, it could fail at the ground, resulting in a large, destructive avalanche. Over the last week, multiple observers reported easily triggered avalanches, and the danger stays elevated with more snow and wind on Thursday. Northerly and easterly-facing slopes are the most hazardous. Avoid steep slopes with large, rounded pillows of snow and fresh cornice development. You can find safer riding on lower-angled slopes.
