Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are generally safe from avalanches. Isolated pockets of hazard could exist at upper elevations where around 8 inches of drifted snow sits on a firm surface. Even a small avalanche can have large consequences if you are swept off a cliff, into rocks, or buried in a deep gully. Adjust your travel plans if you see signs of instability in drifted snow, such as cracking in the snow surface.

With the general warming trend for next week, small Loose Wet avalanche activity is possible during sunny and warm periods.
