Avalanche Summary

Warm, mild weather is reducing your chances of triggering an avalanche. You might trigger a small avalanche if you find wind-drifted snow forming stiff cohesive slabs over a layer of weak snow. You're most likely to find this setup on steep slopes above treeline that face north, northeast, and east.

Continued warming throughout the week could result in small loose avalanche activity on steep, rocky sunny slopes in the afternoon.
