Avalanche Summary

A Special Avalanche Advisory is in effect. New snow and winds through the holiday weekend have created dangerous avalanche conditions. Adjust your plans accordingly, and check the forecast frequently.

You can easily trigger an avalanche in the recent storm snow. Obvious signs of unstable snow include fresh avalanches, shooting cracks, or collapses. Avoid triggering an avalanche by traveling on slopes less than 30 degrees without steep slopes overhead.
