At the higher elevations pockets of soft surface slab up a foot in depth could be human triggered in steep, wind loaded avalanche starting zones. Some potential also remains for deep hard slabs, with depths to three feet, to be human triggered in isolated areas. Very large avalanches could be triggered by snow machines in extreme terrain like the east face of Lava Mountain. Warming temperatures will increase the sensitivity of these slabs to release by human triggers.
