Avalanche problems
Weather Summary
Although unlikely, you may be able to trigger small avalanches where you find more than about eight inches of new or wind-drifted snow. Look for drifted areas below ridgelines, in steep gullies, and in other features that catch and hold the snow. If you encounter warning signs like cracking or collapsing, stick to lower-angle terrain. Even a tiny slide could knock you down and send you for a rough ride.
Be observant of changing conditions as a storm approaches the area. Change your plans accordingly if snowfall amounts are higher than expected.
