East, southeast, and south-facing slopes are the most dangerous. Strong winds last weekend drifted thick slabs over weak snow. Multiple large avalanches released on these aspects. Look for safer travel on slopes less than about 30 degrees, not connected to steeper slopes above. Or on slopes sheltered from the wind.
Avalanche danger increases Friday night into Saturday as a storm moves into the area. Dangerous avalanche conditions are expected this weekend.
