Avalanche Forecast

Expect dry loose sluffing of weak snow on sheltered, shady slopes that can gain speed and mass quickly. Be aware of the consequences of a fall above cliffs, rocks, and trees— and mindful of who is below you. Keep an eye out for isolated pockets of wind-drifted snow at the near ridgelines."
