Avalanche Summary

Strong winds and new snow will increase your chances of triggering an avalanche where new slabs form over older, weaker snow layers. Use extra caution around steep slopes below ridgelines on north to east-facing slopes. Lower-angle, wind-sheltered slopes will provide safer riding options.
