Avalanche Summary

Strong west winds drifted dense new snow onto some steep north and east-facing slopes with previously continuous snow cover. In these spots, you might be able to trigger a small slab avalanche. In other places, the new snow will fall on bare ground, posing no concern for avalanches.
