Avalanche Summary

You could trigger an avalanche in high-elevation areas that face northwest to north through east. Avoid steep wind-drifted terrain features. You can locate these slopes by their smooth, dense surface textures. Choose wind-sheltered terrain or slopes less than about 30 degrees.

A winter storm arrives Friday night and continues through the weekend. Expect avalanche problems to increase at high elevations on Saturday. Don’t use today's forecast to plan your weekend.
