Avalanche Summary
Anticipate rising avalanche danger throughout the day and varying storm totals across the forecast region. You can trigger a dangerous avalanche where you find more than about 10 inches of new snow. Pay attention to changing conditions and assess the slopes you plan to travel for snow accumulation throughout the day. If you observe signs of instability like cracking in the new storm snow, move to a lower angle slope.
Anticipate hazard to rise into the weekend. New snow loads will test buried February weak layers and avalanches may grow in size and break across terrain features as snow accumulates.
