Avalanche Summary

Avalanche conditions are generally safe but an incoming storm will increase the danger through Sunday and into Monday. Strong winds are drifting new snow on top of a weak snowpack on northeast and easterly aspects. Though snow accumulation is low to start on Sunday, as more snow falls, the danger will creep up. If you trigger an avalanche in the new snow it might step down into the weaker layers. Avoiding wind-drifted areas will keep you safer.
