The avalanche danger in most areas is LOW today. An increase in wind along the higher terrain may drift snow into some sensitive pillows. Be aware of any fresh drifts along the upper ridges mostly on east facing steep slopes.

Description

Thin snow cover does not allow for much travel off of the Forest Service roads at this time. Hidden rocks and stumps pose the greatest threat in the backcountry right now. Keep in mind that the wind may drift the new snow into some wind slabs that may release if provoked.
