Avalanche Summary

New snow and wind will increase the likelihood of triggering avalanches on Thursday. The most dangerous slopes are those at upper elevations, particularly north- and east-facing slopes. Steep, open slopes that sit directly below ridgetop are where you will find the most recent loading and the most dangerous conditions.
