Avalanche Summary

Dangerous avalanche conditions exist. The most dangerous slopes face north and east directions but you can trigger a dangerous avalanche on most slopes at higher elevations above treeline. You can trigger an avalanche from a distance so be aware of steep slopes above you even if you are on low-angle terrain. If you want safer travel options stick to low-elevation south-facing slopes or avoid travel on or under steep slopes on aspects of concern.
