Avalanche Summary

Snowfall on Tuesday night and Wednesday, accompanied by strong southwest winds, increases the avalanche danger above treeline. Look for active wind transport and avoid fresh drifts on steep leeward slopes facing north, northeast, and east. Safer travel can be found in wind-sheltered areas.
