Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche on slopes facing northwest through north to east. Most of these avalanches will be small, but they can still knock you over and drag you down the slope. If you find more than about a foot of new snow on top of grainy, loose snow underneath, avoid traveling on steep slopes with consequential terrain below you such as a creek or a cliff.

Expect the avalanche conditions to grow more dangerous by Friday afternoon as snow continues to fall.
