Heightened avalanche conditions exist in some areas, and you could trigger dangerous large cornice fall, wind slab, or storm snow avalanches, especially in steep upper elevation terrain exposed to recent wind drifting... Wet avalanche are possible and the danger will increase with seasonal and daytime warming on any steep slope with soft, moist, or saturated snow...
Evaluate snow and terrain carefully, use conservative decision making, and continue to follow safe travel protocols.... |

There is a MODERATE (2) danger in the backcountry, and heightened avalanche conditions exist. Pockets with a CONSIDERABLE (3) danger may be found in some areas, and you could trigger dangerous large cornice fall or persistent slab avalanches in steep upper elevation terrain exposed to recent wind drifting... Wet avalanche are possible and the danger will increase with daytime warming on any steep slope with soft, moist, or saturated snow...

The avalanche danger is MODERATE on steep, mid and upper elevation northerly and easterly facing slopes for triggering a 1 to 2 foot deep slide, especially on wind drifted slopes. There are also pockets of MODERATE danger for wet loose and wet slab avalanches on steep low and mid elevation slopes, especially if they receive rain. |
