Avalanche Discussion

Heavy rain will reach the highest slopes of the East South zone on Tuesday creating very dangerous avalanche conditions. Large natural avalanches will be very likely. Avoid all avalanche terrain.

New snow will accumulate overnight Monday before turning to heavy rain on Tuesday. Natural avalanches will be very likely; expect cornices to fail and natural storm slabs, and wet loose avalanches to slide. Between the wet and stormy weather and very dangerous conditions, Tuesday is not a good day for backcountry travel in the East South.

During the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, continue to follow the latest guidance from local, state, and federal health officials. Avoid unnecessary risks that could impact first responders and stress medical resources.  Wear a mask when appropriate, practice social distancing, and consider recreating closer to home.
