Avalanche Summary

If you trigger an avalanche, it could fail at the ground, resulting in a large, destructive avalanche. Over the last week, multiple observers have reported easily triggered avalanches, and the danger is increasing with more load. Easterly facing slopes with fresh wind-loading over the weak layers are the most hazardous. Avoid slopes with obvious rounded pillows of snow and cornicing above. Have caution on other slopes with more than about 8 inches of new snow. You can find safer riding on lower-angled slopes.

Snow begins to fall Tuesday mid-day, and by Wednesday a strong storm will be over the region bringing snowfall and strong winds. Expect the avalanche danger to rise during this time.
