Avalanche Summary
A Special Avalanche Advisory is in effect from 4:30 PM Wednesday until 4:30 PM Sunday. Avalanche conditions are more dangerous than we’ve experienced this season. You can easily trigger dangerous avalanches large enough to injure or kill you. Avoid traveling on and under slopes with a slope angle steeper than about 30 degrees. You can trigger avalanches from a distance or from below.
Pay particular attention to northerly and easterly facing slopes where weak snow near the ground was widespread before the most recent storm. Even very soft slabs can fail with such a weak snowpack beneath.
