Avalanche Summary

Most slopes are safe from avalanches on Tuesday. Cooler temperatures and cloud cover should keep most wet avalanche activity at bay.

This does not mean avalanches are impossible. You'll need a melt-freeze crust that is supportable underfoot to travel safely. If this crust melts (most likely in rocky areas), and you begin to sink into the snowpack, you are more likely to trigger wet avalanches. Start and end your day early to further reduce your risk.
