Avalanche Summary

The first pulse of a one-two-punch storm raises the avalanche danger here on Sunday. You can trigger an avalanche where you find drifted snow at upper elevations. Look for and avoid pillows of drifted snow on steep slopes below ridges, convex rollovers, and inside gullies. Cracking in the new snow is a sign to move to low-angle slopes. Look for the danger to increase further as the storm progresses.
