In sintesi
The snowpack is generally stable and the avalanche danger is Low. Watch for (1) isolated pockets of wind-drifted snow in exposed terrain at the upper elevations, (2) sluffing in the snow on steep northerly slopes and (3) avalanches involving wet snow on slopes with a shallow snowpack that is fully-saturated and unsupportable.
Recent Activity
No avalanches reported from Sunday.
