Avalanche Summary

Strong winds continue to drift snow mean you can trigger an avalanche on slopes where you find more than 8 inches of new or wind-drifted snow. This snow is poorly bonded to the firm surface below on east and southeast slopes. You are most likely to find firm pillows of snow below ridgelines and along gullies. Avoid steep slopes where you see cracking and collapsing in the surface snow. You can find safer travel on slopes without drifting.
