Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Warning is in effect from Wednesday at 6 AM through Thursday. The biggest storm of the season is bringing strong winds and feet of snow to an area with a very weak snowpack. You can easily trigger large and dangerous avalanches on most steep slopes, and some will release naturally. Travel in or near avalanche terrain is not recommended
