Avalanche Summary

Conditions are generally safe. A few inches of snow with light winds on Wednesday won't increase the danger. You might trigger a small slide where you find dense, drifted snow directly below ridgelines or convex rollovers. Hollow-sounding drifts or cracking in the snow are signs to avoid these slopes. In many areas, the snow is cohesionless and can sluff off of very steep slopes. These can be dangerous if you're above a gully or cliff.
