Avalanche Summary

Recent north and northwest winds drifted snow at upper elevations, but with so little snow to move, avalanche conditions are generally safe. If you were to trigger a small side, it would be in an area of firm, hollow-sounding snow. Look for the deepest drifts in cross-loaded terrain features and on east and southeast slopes.
