Avalanche Summary

Recent winds and snow have formed cohesive slabs above weak snow high in the alpine. The more dangerous areas are where winds have drifted snow into thicker slabs on steep slopes. Avoid drifted areas near ridgelines and trigger points like convex rolls or steep slopes beneath cliff bands.
