Avalanche Summary

New snow and winds form wind slabs at upper elevations. You could trigger avalanches in areas of wind-drifted snow, especially below ridgelines and in cross-loaded gullies.

Look for cracking in the drifted snow as a sign that the new snow is stiff enough to avalanche. For safer travel, head to wind-sheltered terrain.
