Avalanche Summary

Snow begins to accumulate Tuesday, but not enough to increase avalanche danger. That changes quickly Tuesday night and Wednesday. Rapid accumulations of more than 15 inches of total storm snow are possible by Wednesday. Avalanches will become increasingly eager to trigger in the storm snow. Avoid steep slopes with old snow underneath and close to two feet of new snow.
