Avalanche Summary

A tiny amount of new snow will not raise the danger, but it may hide visual clues about where snow drifted days before. You might trigger a slab avalanche from the edges of stiff wind-drifted snow in gullies, or below ridgelines. Expect to push loose avalanches on very steep slopes covered in soft, weak snow at lower elevations.
