At the mid and upper elevations, backcountry travelers venturing into very steep terrain that has not seen recent avalanche activity might be able to trigger dense slab avalanches to depths of two feet. Newly developing soft slabs and loose snow sluffs may start to become a concern by this afternoon on very steep high elevation slopes if snowfall is steady throughout the day. The snowpack is mostly stable at the lower elevations and avalanches are unlikely.

Light snow showers and cold temperatures will continue into Tuesday. Overnight lows in the mountains will be in the negative single digits before rising to near 10 during the day. Southwesterly to westerly ridgetop winds will range from 15 to 25 miles per hour.The general avalanche hazard is expected to be MODERATE on Tuesday. Backcountry travelers venturing into very steep, wind loaded terrain might be able to trigger dense slab avalanches to depths of two feet.
