Highlights

The general avalanche hazard remains CONSIDERABLE today. The primary concern is surface slabs up to 3 feet in depth created by last weeks storm cycle, which could still be triggered by riders today in wind loaded starting zones. The secondary concern is large, dangerous hard slabs up to 6 feet in depth, which are becoming difficult to initiate. However, large groups, snow machiners, falling cornices, and surface slabs could all act as a trigger for these avalanches with severe consequences.
