Avalanche Summary
Recent snow and wind built thick slabs of snow on northerly slopes at upper elevations. You can trigger avalanches on these slopes, especially where they look filled-in, rounded, or like a pillow. If you see signs of instability like cracking or collapsing, you should avoid steep slopes with freshly drifted snow. The easiest way to avoid avalanches is to stick to slopes without snow coverage before this storm.
