Avalanche Summary

Avalanche conditions are generally safe. A few inches of snow on Wednesday night won't change the danger. You should still look for and avoid dense drifts of snow located on steep, leeward slopes. Like below ridges and on the sides of gullies. You might trigger an avalanche where one of these hard drifts of snow is sitting on weak, collapsible layers on north to east through southeast-facing slopes at upper elevations.
