Steamboat & Flat Tops

Expect generally safe avalanche conditions. Cooler weather and light snow will reduce avalanche concerns on Friday. New, drifting snow at the highest elevations won't be enough to produce dangerous avalanches. However, even a small avalanche in extreme, cliffy terrain can take you for a consequential ride. At lower elevations, pay attention to terrain traps where small avalanches in wet snow could carry you into a creek or over a cliff.

Look for rising danger on Saturday as a spring storm brings widespread snow to the Northern Mountains.
