Kernpunkte

An unstable snowpack continues to pose a threat to travelers in avalanche country. Saturday, a snowmobiler triggered a slide on Sheep Pass in the Salt River Range. On Friday, a slab avalanche fully buried one snowmobiler and partially buried another also in the Salt River Range. Similar continue to be likely today and could result in serious injury or death. Current conditions require restraint. Extended periods of sunshine will further increase the chance of triggering an avalanche. Excellent terrain evaluation skills are essential for safe travel in or near avalanche terrain today.

    DANGEROUS unstable slabs up to four feet in depth rest on buried layers of weak, faceted snow. These slabs can be easily triggered by people who venture onto or beneath steep slopes and could release naturally. Avalanches will become more likely later in the day on slopes with sustained sunshine. Some steep slopes may be crossed multiple times before a weak spot is encountered and the slope fails.
