Avalanche Summary
An Avalanche Watch is in effect for the Park Range Range. New snow and strong winds will create very dangerous avalanche conditions starting Friday night and lasting through Sunday. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended during this time.
On Friday, you can trigger an avalanche on steep slopes where you find drifts of firm snow, most likely found on alpine slopes. You may be able to trigger these avalanches from a distance or below. Avalanches are increasing in size, becoming large enough to bury you, especially if combined with a terrain trap. You can find safer travel on aspects that were dry a week ago or on unconsolidated snow.
