Highlights

The general avalanche hazard is CONSIDERABLE today. DANGEROUS soft slabs up to three feet in depth exist in avalanche prone terrain. These slabs could be triggered by riders or skiers on steep wind loaded aspects and have some potential to release naturally if significant warming occurs. Self rescue skills and equipment are essential for travel in avalanche terrain. Loose snow sluffs are also possible today on steep sunlit aspects if significant warming occurs.
