BOTTOM LINE

Danger by aspect and elevation on slopes approaching 35° or steeper.


Danger Rose Tutorial

At mid and upper elevations the avalanche danger is MODERATE and human triggered dry snow avalanches are possible. In the wind zone above treeline pockets of CONSIDERABLE danger exist and human triggered slides are probable, especially in steep, rocky terrain. Avalanches triggered today on slopes with these characteristics will be large and dangerous.

The danger of wet avalanches is MODERATE this morning, but may rise to CONSIDERABLE on steep sunny slopes with daytime heating.
