Primary Problem: Wind Slab
Bottom Line: Avalanche hazards today, and over the next couple days, will generally be small and isolated. If you get up onto steep, shady slopes that still harbor dry snow, watch out for triggering small Wind Slab avalanches. When the sun is out and not obscured by clouds (mostly today, but also maybe in places on Saturday), Wet Loose avalanches will be a concern. Remain diligent with your snowpack and terrain assessments, and be ready to adapt your plans to changing conditions.
