Avalanche Summary

Avalanche conditions are generally safe, but don't rule out the possibility of triggering a slab avalanche on a small proportion of northerly-facing slopes. The setup to watch out for is a steep slope with a shallower-than-average snowpack with protruding rocks, cliffs or trees. Move off steep slopes if you're sinking past your ankles in wet snow.
