Avalanche Summary

Each day it is getting harder to trigger an avalanche, but if you do trigger one, it could release the whole snowpack on a given mountain slope. We remain concerned about one of these low-likelihood, high-consequence avalanches on steep north-to-east-facing slopes near and above treeline. Safer travel options exist on southerly-facing slopes, or any terrain less steep than around 35 degrees.
