Avalanche Summary

Avalanche conditions remain dangerous. Look around and you may see large avalanches that highlight the destructive avalanches that you might trigger. Choose terrain conservatively and do not get lulled into consequential terrain by prior tracks or a lack of collapsing. Stick to slopes less than 30 degrees without similarly steep slopes overhead.

Saturday afternoon snow surfaces will become wet on steep southerly-facing terrain. Stick to slopes with dry surfaces to avoid triggering loose avalanches.
