Highlights

The general avalanche hazard is CONSIDERABLE. Humans who venture onto steep slopes could trigger soft surface slabs up to two feet deep and/or full depth hard slabs. These dangerous 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 for humans to trigger avalanches will increase as the day warms. Loose snow sloughs are possible on steep sunlit slopes and road cuts.
