Highlights

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE today. Pockets of soft surface slab to two feet in depth lie upon weak layers of buried surface hoar and slick crusts. In addition weak layers of faceted snow persist deep in the snowpack and near the ground. Backcountry users could trigger these surface slabs and/or deep dangerous slabs in steep wind loaded terrain.
