Avalanche Forecast By Zone
The Bottom Line
A first larger winter storm has impacted the area. Despite generally shallow snow depths, hunters, hikers, and ambitious backcountry travelers could encounter isolated pockets of unstable snow in high-elevation terrain. Consider avoiding steep slopes if you observe signs of unstable snow, such as cracking or collapsing, where a foot or more of wind-blown snow has piled up on a slope. Early-season conditions exist, and many hazards, such as stumps and rocks, lurk just below the snow surface.
