Avalanche Summary

Avalanche conditions are generally safe. Exercise caution on steep wind-drifted slopes that look smooth or wave-like. Dense, hard snow drifts could exist below ridgelines or along the sides of gullies and couloirs. You might be able to trigger one of these drifts if you find the wrong spot.
