Avalanche Summary
Aspects facing west through north to southeast that did not avalanche during last week's storm and have thin, shallow spots such as uneven rocky slopes are the most dangerous. If you choose to travel across steep slopes on these aspects of concern, you should stick to slopes that avalanched during last week's storm or smooth, planar slopes without terrain traps, such as a cliff or a creek below you. Safer travel options exist by sticking to south and southwest-facing slopes and most slopes below treeline.
