Avalanche Summary

You might trigger a slab avalanche above treeline where recently wind-difted snow accumulated. Southwest winds Friday night drifted snow onto a weak snowpack on northerly and easter-facing terrain. Any avalanche will probably break near the ground. Avoid steep slopes with more than two or three feet of snowpack depth. Choose wind-sheltered terrain where the snowpack remains soft throughout.
