Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Warning is in effect for the Flat Tops, Elk Head Mountains, and Park Range. Expect very dangerous conditions to develop by Monday morning and continue through Tuesday.

You can expect to trigger a large and dangerous avalanche on, near, or below steep northerly and easterly-facing slopes at all elevations. Dense slabs of recently fallen snow rest precariously above fragile weak layers near the ground. Numerous people have triggered and been caught in avalanches this weekend. Conditions will grow more dangerous Monday and Tuesday. We recommend that you do not travel in or near avalanche terrain.
