Highlights
The general avalanche hazard is CONSIDERABLE. On Friday a deep (five to six foot crown) hard slab was triggered on approach by a skier on a steep east facing aspect of Angle Mountain. This dangerous slab avalanche failed on a layer of weak faceted snow and a November rain crust. Similar events could be triggered today by humans on a variety of aspects on steep avalanche prone slopes. Conservative decisions and excellent terrain evaluation skills are essential for safe travel in avalanche terrain.
