Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are either too thin or lack the structure to produce an avalanche and are safe to travel. With a little fresh snow and westerly winds, the one hazard you need to consider is small drifts around ridgelines on the eastern half of the compass. These should be easy to manage, but should be avoided if they grow to over a foot, or if you are traveling in consequential terrain.
