Avalanche Summary

The danger will increase throughout the day as snow starts to accumulate and winds drift additional snow onto leeward slopes. By Wednesday afternoon, you will be able to trigger dangerous slab avalanches on northwest through north to southeast facing slopes above the treeline, where you find about a foot or more of new snow.

Expect the danger to dramatically increase overnight Wednesday into Thursday.
