Avalanche Summary

Watch for small areas of wind-drifted snow on north through east to southeast-facing slopes near ridgetop. In areas that get more than 3 or 4 inches of snow on Monday, you may be able to trigger a small avalanche in very steep terrain. Small avalanches can be problematic in extreme terrain, such as snowfields above cliffs or steep and rocky chutes and couloirs. Besides these small wind drifts, avalanches are unlikely, and avalanche conditions are generally safe.
