Avalanche Summary
Easterly-facing slopes at upper elevations are the most dangerous areas. You can trigger an avalanche within the freshly drifted snow, but it's likely to step down into a more deeply buried weak layer. Don’t let tracks on a slope lull you into a false sense of security; you could find the thinner portions and trigger a large and destructive avalanche. Seek wind-sheltered slopes and slopes less than about 30 degrees for safer travel options.
Look out for an upsloping winter storm beginning on Thursday afternoon and lasting through Friday. The danger will likely rise as new snow accumulates.
