Avalanche Forecast - West Slopes South

  • Alpine: Moderate
  • Treeline: Moderate
  • Below Treeline: Low

<p>As the snow surface becomes weak and wet, expect avalanches to become easier to trigger. This could happen on different slopes at different times. Once you find wet snow deeper than your ankle, its time to head to lower angle or less slushy terrain.</p>
