Avalanche Summary
Avalanche conditions remain dangerous, especially on slopes over 35 degrees. Almost every aspect has seen avalanches recently, with the highest concentration on northeast to east-facing slopes. Stay vigilant, as signs of instability may not be present before you trigger a slope or it fails from a distance away. Wind-drifted faces below ridges or the sides of gullies are prime places to trigger the largest and most destructive avalanches. Reduce your risk by sticking to lower-angled, wind-sheltered terrain.
