Avalanche Summary

Generally safe avalanche conditions exist. Low danger doesn't mean there is no danger. You can still trigger a small wet avalanche on steep slopes that hold continuous snow coverage, generally facing northwest through north to east. Most of these will be small but they can be dangerous in consequential terrain. Start and end your day early to reduce your chances of running into wet avalanches. If you are sinking past your ankles in wet snow, you should avoid traveling on steep slopes above terrain traps such as creeks or cliffs.
