Avalanche Summary

The most widespread concern for Wednesday is triggering an avalanche in freshly-drifted snow near ridgetop. Look for and avoid stiffer drifts of snow on east and south-facing slopes. Avalanches could break 1 to 2 feet thick and grow large enough to injure or bury you.

In steep, sheltered areas a weak layer of surface hoar is buried 1 to 2 feet deep on northerly and east-facing slopes. Collapsing sounds and shooting cracks as a sign that you have found this unstable snowpack.

Lower-elevation and slopes less than about 30 degrees without steeper slopes overhead offer the safest riding options.
