Avalanche Summary
An Avalanche Watch is in effect for the Park Range. Heavy snow and strong winds will create very dangerous avalanche conditions starting Friday morning through Saturday. Avalanches will break wide across terrain features and run long distances. Many will run naturally. Travel in, near, or under avalanche terrain is not recommended Friday morning through Saturday night.
For Thursday: Beware of steep slopes with more than a foot of new snow regardless of aspect and elevation. Even a small avalanche within the storm snow could step down into a buried weak layer, resulting in a much larger and more dangerous avalanche. Stick to slopes less than about 30 degrees that don't end in terrain traps for safer travel options.
