Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Warning expires Wednesday evening.

Thursday the avalanche conditions remain dangerous. You can easily trigger a large slab avalanche on many northwest, through north, to east-facing slopes. An avalanche might break wider than you expect. You can trigger them on, below, or adjacent to steep slopes. Choose southerly-facing terrain for safer options, but steer around the freshly-drifted snow below ridgelines.
