Avalanche Forecast By Zone

The Bottom Line

A layered snowpack is developing in the mountains, particularly on shaded slopes above 7,000 feet. Steep slopes (>30°) with solid snow coverage of around a foot or more hold the potential to produce avalanches. Often, the risk involved with early-season avalanche hazard is limited to upper-elevation, wind-loaded slopes. These slopes are also among the most attractive to riders and skiers when coverage is thin. Small avalanches can be especially dangerous if carried into rocks, trees, or other thin-cover hazards. Exercise caution on steep slopes or terrain features that appear deeper or drifted, and avoid areas where you experience cracking or collapsing.
