Highlights

The threat continues for backcountry travelers in steep terrain to trigger slab avalanches with depths to three feet. Moderate hazard with a chance of starting hard to predict, dangerous slab avalanches requires good, conservative judgment when contemplating travel in high consequence terrain.

    Persistent slabs rest on weak, faceted snow and hard snow surfaces. Dangerous slab avalanches to three feet in depth could be triggered by riders and skiers in steep, avalanche terrain. Some steep slopes may be crossed multiple times before a weak spot is encountered causing failure of the slope. Expected warming temperatures will make triggering slides more likely.
