Highlights

The general avalanche hazard is CONSIDERABLE. Dense new snow driven by west winds will fall upon cold light density snow that is poorly bonded to old snow surfaces. New soft slabs up to two feet deep and loose snow sloughs are likely to be sensitive to human triggers. Natural avalanche activity is possible. Deeper instabilities persists. Dangerous full depth hard slab avalanches could be human triggered or be triggered by the failure of shallower surface slabs.
