Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are generally safe. However, you should consider a few scenarios if riding in steeper terrain. With increased westerly winds, watch out for small, denser slabs forming at the top of isolated terrain features below ridges. Even a small slide that sweeps you off your feet can be dangerous if you are in consequential terrain.

Also, the sun is intense this time of year, and with warming temperatures, generating small wet sluffs on steep sunny slopes could be an issue to watch for.
