Lo esencial

The general avalanche hazard is CONSIDERABLE above an elevation of 8,000 feet and MODERATE below that elevation. The recent storm brought in significant moisture to the region. Strong winds accompanied the storm, depositing wind slabs in higher elevation terrain on a variety of aspects. These slabs could be triggered by backcountry riders and skiers today. At the lower elevations, rain and warm temperatures have resulted in the chance for wet slides.

    Strong winds during this weeks snowfall promoted the formation of wind slabs in the mountains. These slabs could be triggered by backcountry riders or skiers today. These slabs could be soft or hard with depths to three feet and could release on a variety of aspects. The release of these slabs will be hard to predict and caution is advised as many areas will indicate stability before a similar slopes slides, with a potentially large and dangerous avalanche.

    The chance for wet slides will continue to increase today as temperatures rise even higher. Steep terrain such as road cuts should be avoided.

Avalanche Discussion

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Thanksgiving day looks to be partly to mostly cloudy, dry and warm. Temperatures could reach above freezing temperatures at 10,000 feet while valleys warm into the forties.The general avalanche forecast is expected to be Considerable above 9000 feet and Moderate below that elevation. At the higher elevations, wind slabs to three feet depth could be triggered in steep avalanche terrain. Although these slabs have gained strength quickly, the potential remains for human triggered large and dangerous hard slabs. At lower elevations, the potential for wet slides will increase in the afternoon as the snowpack is weakened by warm temperatures.
