Avalanche Summary

The new snow consolidated over the last few days. Get into and out of the mountains early to avoid wet avalanches. Signs that the danger is increasing are small wet avalanches in steep rocky terrain and wet, gloppy surface snow that sticks to everything. If you sink more than about 8 inches into cohesionless snow, it's time to call it a day. The most dangerous slopes will be in the above treeline elevation band.
