Highlights
The snowpack is generally stable, and avalanche danger is LOW this morning with Normal Caution advised. The main concern is wet loose avalanches on steep, sun-exposed slopes this afternoon as skies clear and temperatures rise. If you’re seeing rollerballs or the snow’s getting wet and unsupportable, it’s time to move off those slopes.
- Cornices may be unstable and could collapse, potentially triggering slides on slopes below.
- Roof avalanches remain a hazard. Keep people and pets clear of steep, snow-loaded roofs.
Low avalanche danger does not mean "no avalanche danger". Stay flexible and be ready to adjust your plans as conditions change.
Portions of the danger rose colored gray indicate little to no snow.
