Avalanche Summary
An Avalanche Watch is in effect for Wednesday morning through Wednesday night. Powerful winds and heavy snow will create very dangerous avalanche conditions. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended on Wednesday.
For Tuesday - On slopes with thick slabs of wind-drifted snow, you can trigger an avalanche large enough to bury you. The slopes that received the most loading during the recent storm face northeast and east. If you are only making shallow tracks in the snow, and the snowpack is capable of supporting your weight, you are probably on one of these dangerous slopes. You can also trigger avalanches from flat ground below steep wind-drifted slopes.
