Avalanche Summary

Wednesday will be the warmest day of the week, and wet avalanche concerns will reach their peak too. Start and end your day early. Any thin veneer of frozen snow will break down early as the snow surfaces warm.

On north-facing slopes at upper elevations, you might still trigger a dry slab avalanche. Pick slopes less than about 35 degrees steep to avoid this concern.
