Thursday morning, February 15, 2024
Today, the avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE on all mid and upper-elevation steep slopes for triggering soft slabs of Wind-Drifted Snow. We also have a CONSIDERABLE danger for New Snow dry-loose (sluffs), or soft slab avalanches failing within the recent storm snow. Strong winds and heavy snowfall will increase the avalanche danger throughout the day. Cautious route-finding and conservative decision-making will be essential today.
On slopes facing west through north through east across the mid and upper elevations, it remains possible to trigger a hard slab avalanche breaking 4-6' deep on buried faceted snow.
