Avalanche Summary

Earlier this week, strong westerly winds drifted thin, stiff slabs of snow below alpine ridgelines. You might trigger a small slab avalanche on northerly or easterly-facing slopes that could break up to a foot deep. Choose safer options in wind-sheltered terrain where you find no freshly buried layers of stiffer wind-drifted snow.
