Avalanche conditions are generally safe, but you could trigger a small avalanche in drifted snow at upper elevations. The most likely areas are where you find dense pillows of snow on very steep slopes directly below ridgelines and along gully walls. If you experience cracking head to lower-angled or sheltered slopes.
