Avalanche Forecast

Precipitation type and amount will increase the avalanche hazard in most areas Friday. In areas with snow, identify and avoid areas where strong winds are depositing snow such as below cornices, on wind dirfts, and on cross-loaded features. In locations receiving rain, wet avalanche conditions will develop. Avoid terrain where being caught in a small avalanche could have higher consequences such as above cliffs, creeks, or gullies.
