Avalanche Summary

Strong winds and new snow will create small slabs in areas below ridgelines and in open terrain. These should be easy to manage, but could do you harm if you get knocked down into consequential terrain. North to northeast aspects, where new slabs form over older, weak snow, may break from a distance away.
