Steamboat & Flat Tops

Avalanche conditions are generally safe. Look for and avoid small areas of drifted snow near ridgetop. You can trigger small avalanches where you find hard drifts on the lee side of ridges and the sides of gullies. With another change in wind direction, to the northwest, you'll have to watch for drifted snow in different places than on Saturday.

Clouds are forecast on Sunday, but if the sun comes out in the afternoon, the cold new snow will heat up and sluff. These small wet avalanches will be harmless unless you are knocked off of your feet in very steep, extreme terrain.
