Kernpunkte

Very dangerous avalanche conditions exist. Large natural avalanches will occur, and avalanches will be easy to trigger. You can trigger avalanches remotely—from flat terrain below, above, and to the sides of steep slopes. Stay off of and out from beneath steep slopes.

    Many steep slopes are near or at their tipping point. The mountains could come unglued today and tonight. Large, destructive avalanches will release naturally on some slopes.

    The intense multi-day storm is overwhelming very weak snow that formed during the month-long drought, including surface hoar, facets, and facet + crust combinations. 

    The travel advice is simple: stay off of steep slopes and the areas beneath them.

Avalanche Discussion

The avalanche equation remains simple today: exceptional weak layer + exceptional wet, warm, windy storm = weird and wild avalanche conditions.  If you're out playing in the hills, carefully plan your day to stay off of and out from below steep slopes.
