15 inches of new snow and strong winds have created a rising avalanche danger in the Abajo Mountains. Fresh slabs of wind drifted snow are possible on all aspects at mid and upper elevations.
A remote possibility also remains for triggering a deep avalanche on a weak layer of sugary, faceted snow at the base of the snowpack. You are most likely to encounter this problem on very steep, northerly facing slopes that have a shallower snowpack.
