Avalanche Forecast By Zone
The Bottom Line
New snow and strong southwest wind will create sensitive wind slabs up to a foot deep at elevations above 6500′. Expect rising avalanche danger as the day progresses. Continue to practice safe backcountry travel habits, avoid wind loaded slopes & give terrain near or under cornices a wide buffer. If you are seeing cracks or drifts of snow, find another lower angle slope.
