Avalanche Summary

Dense snow and strong easterly winds have created dangerous avalanche conditions. Due to these strong winds, it is easy to trigger thick slabs of wind-drifted snow well below ridgelines. You can identify these areas by their rounded appearance; shooting cracks and collapses are sure signs you should avoid these dangerous slopes. Some avalanches may break into deeper weak layers and propagate widely across terrain features.

Sheltered below treeline slopes and slopes less than 30 degrees steep, without steep slopes above offer safer travel through the weekend.
