Avalanche Summary

Snow and wind on Friday will create thick slabs of snow on northerly and east-facing slopes at upper elevations. This is where you can trigger avalanches. Avalanche conditions are most dangerous in the Flat Tops as this is where the heaviest snow will fall. Watch for, and avoid, steep northerly slopes where you observe freshly drifted snow.
