In mid and upper elevation terrain, especially on steep slopes facing the north half of the compass where the snowpack has stayed thin and weak all season, the avalanche danger remains CONSIDERABLE (Level 3) and human triggered avalanches which break into weak snow near the ground are probable.
A MODERATE (Level 2) avalanche danger exists on steep, northerly facing slopes at both mid and upper elevations, where buried surface hoar remains tricky and reactive. Human triggered avalanches are possible in this type of terrain.
At lower elevations and on most sun exposed mid elevation slopes the avalanche danger is generally LOW.

In steep, mid and upper elevation terrain the avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE (Level 3) and human triggered wind slabs along with dangerous slides which break into weak snow near the ground are probable. The danger is most pronounced in the wind zone above tree line and on steep slopes with a weak shallow snowpack, particularly those facing the north half of the compass.
A MODERATE (Level 2) avalanche danger exists on steep, mid elevation slopes, especially those with recent deposits of wind drifted snow and human triggered avalanches are possible.
At lower elevations and on most sun exposed mid elevation slopes the avalanche danger is generally LOW.

In steep, mid and upper elevation terrain the avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE (Level 3) and human triggered wind slabs along with dangerous slides which break into weak snow near the ground are probable. The danger is most pronounced on steep slopes with a weak, shallow snowpack, particularly those facing north, northeast and east.
A MODERATE (Level 2) avalanche danger exists on steep, mid elevation slopes, especially those with recent deposits of wind drifted snow and human triggered avalanches are possible.
The danger of wet slides is generally LOW this morning, increasing to MODERATE on all steep, low elevation slopes with daytime heating. Human triggered avalanches are possible, especially during the heat of the day.
