Avalanche Summary
An Avalanche Watch is in effect for Wednesday morning through Wednesday night. Powerful winds and heavy snow will create very dangerous avalanche conditions. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended on Wednesday.
Look for, and avoid, rounded pillows of firm snow in steep terrain. You can trigger an avalanche in these hard drifts of snow.
On slopes where you observe cracking and collapsing or find drum-like hollow snow, avoid steep slopes. You can find safer travel on slopes sheltered from the wind at lower elevations.
