Highlights
The snowpack is generally stable and the avalanche danger is Low. Two concerns are (1) sluffing in the snow at the surface in steep northerly terrain, and (2) isolated pockets of wind-drifted snow in exposed terrain at the upper elevations.
Risk is inherent in mountain travel; getting caught in a small avalanche could have serious consequences in steep, rocky terrain.
