Highlights
The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE. Above an elevation of 8,000 feet west-southwest winds have formed new soft slabs to two feet in depth on leeward aspects. These surface slabs could be triggered by humans who venture into steep avalanche starting zones with fresh deposits of wind blown snow. A remote potential for large loads to trigger full depth avalanches may persist in isolated areas. At the lower elevations (below 8,000 feet) wet slides are possible on on steep slopes and in known avalanche paths.
