Avalanche Summary

Recent north and northwest winds drifted snow at upper elevations, but with so little snow to move, avalanche conditions are generally safe. If you were to trigger a small side, it would be in a fresh area of drifted snow. Look for the deepest drifts on the east, southeast, and south slopes.
