Avalanche Summary

Warm and dry weather leading to daily melt-freeze conditions means the avalanche conditions remain generally safe. Start and end your day early. Pay attention to warming snow and steer around steep slopes where you sink past your ankles. The most likely place to trigger a small avalanche is where you find still-transitioning dry snow on north-facing slopes at the highest elevations. Triggering a small avalanche can be dangerous if it sweeps you off your feet.
