Avalanche Summary

The most dangerous avalanche conditions are found on northerly and east-facing slopes located directly below ridgetop. This is where previous winds drifted snow into thicker slabs. New snow and wind on Friday will only add to the problem. Stick to low-angle slopes or southerly-facing slopes without weak layers of snow near the ground.
