The General Avalanche Hazard is LOW. Melt-freeze cycles over the last week have led to a mostly stable snowpack when frozen. While unlikely, backcountry travelers could still trigger isolated pockets of dry surface slab up to a foot in depth persisting on very-steep, shaded aspects above 9,000 feet. Strong winds and new snow could also combine to form new, shallow surface slabs 4 to 8 inches deep in wind loaded starting zones at the upper elevations as the day progresses.
