Avalanche Summary
Steep, shallow slopes facing northerly or easterly are the most likely areas for you to trigger an avalanche. Avoid shallow trigger points, including buried rocks, steep rollovers, or beneath ridges and cliffs.
Unsettled weather starts Tuesday night and will continue through the weekend. Though this area will likely miss heavy snowfall, avalanche hazards will rise over the coming day if snow accumulates. Assess the slopes you plan to travel throughout the storm to determine how much new snow has accumulated and how the new snow is bonding.
