Highlights

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE today. Dense slabs to two feet in depth lie on slopes at higher elevations. These slabs could be triggered today by backcountry users on steep slopes particularly near rocky and cliff areas and have the potential to pull out older, deep layers of weak snow. Any sun breaks will rapidly warm and weaken the snowpack and could cause sloughs to run. Avoid ravines and terrain traps at all elevations when this occurs.
