Avalanche Summary
An incoming spring storm will drop enough snow to increase the avalanche danger on Monday. High-elevation slopes steeper than about 35 degrees, facing the north and east sides of the compass, will be most dangerous. Look for fresh drifts of new snow on the lee side of ridges, cross-loaded gully features, and terrain depressions. Most avalanches will be small, but they could pose a threat in continuously steep and rocky terrain.
Additional snowfall on Tuesday will further increase the avalanche danger, and some avalanches in the new snow may run naturally.
