Avalanche Summary

You can trigger a dangerous avalanche on steep slopes that face northwest through north to east. You might be able to travel on a slope multiple times before triggering an avalanche so keep in mind that tracks on a slope don't mean it is safe. If you choose to travel on steep slopes on aspects of concern, expose one person at a time and choose slopes with no terrain traps such as a creek, a cliff, or a gully at the bottom of the slope.

You can expect the avalanche danger to increase overnight Monday into Tuesday.
