Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are generally safe from avalanches. Watch for wind-drifted snow on the leeward sides of ridgelines above treeline, where you might be able to trigger a small slab avalanche on recently wind-drifted snow on slopes steeper than about 35 degrees. Start early and end early to reduce your chances of encountering wet avalanche issues on steep, sunny terrain in the afternoon. Even a small avalanche can be dangerous in extreme terrain.
