Avalanche Summary

Strong westerly winds on Friday drifted snow into reactive slabs on leeward slopes. Avalanches breaking in the drifted snow can easily take you off your feet for a dangerous ride. Although it is springtime, new snow and wind mean that Saturday may not be the best day for steep, extreme terrain.
