Avalanche Summary

A Special Avalanche Advisory is in effect from  4:30 PM Wednesday until 4:30 PM Sunday. Avalanche conditions are more dangerous than we’ve experienced this season. You can easily trigger dangerous avalanches large enough to injure or kill you. Avoid traveling on and under slopes with a slope angle steeper than about 30 degrees. You can trigger avalanches from a distance or from below.

The most dangerous slopes are north through east to south slopes were strong winds continue to drift snow into stiffer slabs.
