Northern San Juan

Limited snow cover means there are very few places where you can trigger an avalanche. If you find hard, wind-drifted snow on high-elevation northerly-facing slopes, there is a slim chance you might trigger a small avalanche. Use caution traveling in steep gullies and areas close to ridgelines where going for a ride in a small slide with such shallow snow cover can be dangerous.

The incoming winter storm will bring snow to the area but with limited accumulation. Impacts at this time will be minimal.
