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.
