Avalanche Summary

Although you might not see or hear cracking and collapsing, the snowpack is not trustworthy on northerly and easterly-facing terrain. You might trigger a large avalanche like a recent one in North Anthracite Creek that broke sometime since mid-week. Triggering an avalanche from below or some distance away from is still a potential, especially from places where the snowpack is thin. Southerly-facing terrain offers a safer snowpack.
