Avalanche Summary

Variable snow coverage and generally safe avalanche conditions exist. The most dangerous slopes are above treeline, facing north and east. On these slopes, you might trigger a small avalanche in freshly drifted snow where you can find continuous old snow from earlier in the season. Wind drifts can be identified by their smooth, rounded appearance. There is a high risk of hitting shallowly buried obstacles while traveling in the backcountry.
