Avalanche Summary

Avalanche conditions are generally safe. Temperatures overnight on Saturday are mild, and with clouds moving in, the snow surface may not see a good freeze. If you're headed out on Sunday morning, make sure the snowpack is supportable when you are standing on it without skis or other flotation devices. Cloud cover and winds increase through the day, lessening the chance of a wet avalanche. Towards the end of Sunday, enough snow may accumulate at the highest elevation to be able to trigger small avalanches in drifted snow on north-facing slopes.
