Avalanche Summary
Rapid accumulations of more than 10 inches of storm snow are possible by Wednesday. Avalanches will be easy to trigger. Slab avalanches may break on changes in the storm snow or at the old snow surface. Avoid steep slopes with old snow underneath and close to a foot of new snow above.
Clearing skies and warming temperatures on Thursday prime ups for a widespread shed cycle. Expect to see lots of loose avalanches on slopes with fresh snow. The potential for slab avalanches in the storm snow will continue on shadier alpine slopes.
