Avalanche Summary

Dangerous avalanche conditions developed over the last week and will last into the weekend. You can easily trigger an avalanche on northwest through north to east-facing slopes. You might trigger one from lower-angled slopes near or below an adjacent avalanche path. Southerly-facing terrain lacks the problematic weak snow layer near the ground, so look here for safer options.
