Avalanche Summary
Most slopes are safe from avalanches. You might find isolated wind-drifted slabs below ridgelines and in the tops of gully and couloir features in the alpine. If you are in an area with more than about 6 inches of storm snow, watch for stiffer slabs, shooting cracks, and avoid very steep consequential terrain.
When the sun pops out on Tuesday, expect any new snow to quickly get wet and shed off as mostly small, loose wet avalanches. These will mostly be harmless unless they push into rocks, creeks, or over cliffs.
