Avalanche Summary
An incoming storm on Friday will soften the snow surfaces and obscure old snow textures, but forecast snowfall amounts don't look like enough to raise the avalanche danger. You can still trigger an avalanche where dense slabs deposited since mid-November rest on buried weak layers near the ground. The most worrisome spots are steep, smooth, planar slopes with a snowpack deeper than three feet, that face northwest through north to east. You can find safer travel options on southerly and west-facing terrain.
