Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are safe to travel on, as there is patchy coverage. You could trigger a small avalanche where you find continuous snow, especially if it has more than about six inches of new or wind-drifted snow. This will be more likely close to ridgelines and in shady gully features. The east side of the Continental Divide is forecasted to pick up the most snow tomorrow, so be extra cautious in these areas. If you find rounded pillows of snow that crack beneath you, retreat to lower-angled slopes or those sheltered from the wind.
