Avalanche Summary
An Avalanche Watch is in effect. Very dangerous avalanche conditions will develop on Saturday and last through Sunday. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended from Saturday afternoon through Sunday.
For Friday, the most dangerous slopes are below treeline, where the snowpack is part weak layer and slab. You could trigger a slide in the weaker areas closer to trees, rocks, or convex rollovers. Reduce your chances of triggering an avalanche by choosing low-angle slopes. At higher elevations, weak layers are buried deeply. Check the depth for a consistent snowpack below you, and watch for small pockets of wind-drifted snow in consequential terrain.
