Avalanche Summary

Winds will drift snow onto a weak snow surface on easterly-facing aspects on Monday. You can trigger avalanches that break at the bottom of the drifted snow. Most of these avalanches will be relatively small and easy to manage, but they may grow large enough to knock you down and bury you in a terrain trap. More snow and wind are expected by Tuesday. expect changing conditions and an increasing avalanche danger as the snow starts to fall.
