Avalanche Summary

You can find safer riding on planar slopes with a consistently deep snowpack. Avoid areas with lots of shallow spots around rocks and trees where you can trigger a deeper slide. Near ridgelines and along gullies, look for rounded pillows of smooth-wind-drifted snow that could take you for a dangerous ride, especially in consequential terrain. If in doubt about the coverage on a slope, stick to lower-angle terrain.

Conditions will change rapidly on Sunday when strong winds and heavy snowfall affect the area.
