Avalanche Summary

Friday's storm built an easy-to-trigger 1 to 2-foot deep soft slab avalanche problem that you'll find on many west through north to east-facing slopes. Where you encounter wind-drifted snow, these can break deeper and might break into deeper buried weak layers. Look for safer options in wind-sheltered or wind-scoured terrain.
