Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Warning is in effect for the Elk Mountains. More snow than expected and continued strong winds are creating very dangerous avalanche conditions throughout the day Monday. Avalanches will break on deeply buried weak layers propagating wide across terrain features and running long distances, in many cases to valley floors. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended at this time.
