Avalanche Summary

Be careful around northerly and easterly-facing slopes at upper elevations. New snow and recent winds built slabs over weak snow near the ground. Look for drifted areas, recent avalanches, and cracking or collapsing in the snowpack to warn you of potential danger. You can find safer conditions in lower elevation and wind-sheltered areas.
