Avalanche Summary

Dense snow, falling rapidly, and strong easterly winds are creating dangerous avalanche conditions. You can easily trigger avalanches within the storm snow and some avalanches will break on deeper weak layers. Deeper slides can propagate widely across terrain features and may run long distances. Some avalanches may run naturally.
