Avalanche Summary
Conditions will become more dangerous throughout the day as heavy snow and strong winds quickly build new slabs of dangerous snow. Be careful on any slope where you find more than about six inches of new or wind-drifted snow. Look for and avoid rounded pillows of snow and steep terrain where the snow cracks or collapses. There is still a chance that an avalanche triggered in the surface snow could step down to deeper weak layers. You can find safer riding on terrain sheltered from the wind without a cohesive slab and on lower-angle slopes.
