Avalanche Summary

Limited snow cover means there are very few places where you can trigger an avalanche. If you find hard, wind-drifted snow on high-elevation northerly-facing slopes, there is a slim chance you might trigger a small avalanche. Use caution traveling in steep gullies and areas close to ridgelines where going for a ride in a small slide with such shallow snow cover can be dangerous.

A period of unsettled weather begins Saturday lasting through the weekend. The avalanche danger may increase on Sunday if snowfall exceeds forecast amounts.
