The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE in drifted upper and mid-elevation terrain, and extremely cold wind chill values will enhance the danger. Natural avalanches are possible, and human-triggered avalanches of wind-drifted storm snow and cornice falls are likely on slopes steeper than 30°. On some outlying east, south, and west-facing slopes, people might trigger large avalanches failing 2-3 feet deep on a thin, persistent weak layer. Elevated conditions also exist on drifted lower-elevation slopes. The best and safest powder riding conditions will be found in sheltered terrain and on slopes less steep than about 30°.
- Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route-finding, and conservative decision-making are essential for safe backcountry travel.
- Avoid and stay out from under steep drifted slopes and overhanging cornices.
- Dress warmly and keep tabs on your companions...
