Avalanche Summary

At least two different parties triggered large avalanches on Sunday. More snow and strong wind on Monday will keep the conditions dangerous through at least Tuesday. You can trigger a large avalanche from above, below, or adjacent to steeper slopes. Make conservative choices and give northerly or easterly-facing avalanche paths a wide berth.
