Avalanche Summary
Avalanche conditions are generally safe, but you might be able to trigger small loose avalanches on shady, steep, and sheltered slopes near and below treeline. Here, the snowpack continues to weaken, making it easier to trigger loose avalanches in shallow areas of cohesionless snow. While small in size, these avalanches could be dangerous if they push you into a tree or a terrain trap.
A welcome change in weather pattern is on the horizon. Snow and wind on Wednesday could start to change overall conditions, but currently, storm totals don't look to increase avalanche danger.
