Avalanche Summary

Look for small, new snow drifts on steep north through east to southeast-facing slopes as the primary hazard to manage. These should be mostly harmless unless you trigger one in consequential terrain. Most slopes lack a denser slab necessary for an avalanche and are safe for travel.
