Avalanche Summary

Snow and wind are building thick slabs of snow on northerly and easterly-facing slopes at upper elevations. These are the slopes where you can trigger avalanches. Watch for, and avoid, steep slopes with freshly drifted snow. Those spots will look filled-in, rounded, or like a pillow. You may see signs of instability like cracking or collapsing. The easiest way to avoid avalanches is to stick to slopes that did not have snow coverage before this storm.
