Highlights

The general avalanche hazard is HIGH. TRAVEL IN AVALANCHE TERRAIN IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Strong south to west winds have loaded leeward aspects and formed soft slabs up to three feet in depth which lie upon slick crusts and weak layers of buried surface hoar and depth hoar. These slabs will be easily triggered and could release spontaneously.
