Highlights

The general avalanche hazard is CONSIDERABLE. Backcountry users venturing onto steep slopes could trigger soft surface slabs up to two feet deep and/or full depth hard slabs. These slabs could be triggered by the weight of a single skier or could release after a slope has been crossed multiple times by snowmachines. The potential to trigger avalanches will increase as the day warms.
