Avalanche Summary

A small amount of new snow doesn't change the danger, but gusty winds mean that any available snow will be drifted into thin patchy slabs above treeline. Triggering an avalanche remains unlikely on most slopes, but go around any fresh lens-shaped drifts that are sitting on top of stiff or slick old snow surfaces.
