Highlights

The General Avalanche Hazard is MODERATE. Overnight and forecasted new snow at higher elevations, with ridgecrest winds, are creating areas of soft slabs to ten inches in depth on lee slopes. The slabs sit on smooth sun crusts and could be easily triggered. Any sun breaks will increase the chance of releasing slides.

Avalanche Discussion

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )Winter weather will continue Tuesday night into Wednesday with cooler temperatures and snowfall. Several inches of new snow are possible at upper elevations by Tuesday evening with highs only in the low teens. Ridge top winds will be southerly at 10 to 15 miles per hour overnight then veer to northwesterly at 20 mph during the day Wednesday.The General Avalanche Hazard is expected to be LOW in the morning as old snow will have well frozen melt-freeze crusts. The hazard may rise to MODERATE if sufficient new snow and wind create large enough drifts to be of concern on steep, lee slopes at upper elevations.
