New snow and wind will increase the avalanche danger on Thursday at wind-exposed, upper elevations in the Park Range. The main concern is wind-drifted snow landing on older, collapsible layers of snow on north, northeast, and east-facing aspects. Any avalanche that you trigger in these places will most likely be small, but taking a ride in early-season conditions with many exposed rocks can be consequential.
