Highlights

The general avalanche hazard is Considerable. Strong ridgetop winds have formed pockets of slab up to three feet in depth in some avalanche starting zones. These slabs lie upon weak layers of faceted snow and slick crusts and could be triggered by riders on steep wind loaded aspects. Avoid gullies, terrain traps and wind loaded avalanche prone terrain.
