Avalanche Summary
An Avalanche Watch is in effect. Very dangerous avalanche conditions will develop overnight Saturday and last through Sunday. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended on Sunday.
For Saturday, the most dangerous slopes are northerly and east-facing slopes near ridgetop that receive wind-drifted snow. In these places, avalanches that you trigger in drifted snow can break on weaker layers near the ground. Shooting cracks and whumpfing sounds are signs of unstable snow, and are clues you should avoid steep slopes.
