There is a CONSIDERABLE avalanche hazard in mid and upper elevation terrain for wind-drifted snow avalanches that may be 1-3' deep and up to 200' wide. There is a CONSIDERABLE avalanche hazard in mid and lower elevation terrain for wet snow avalanches.
Yesterday's winds created stiff slabs of wind-drifted snow on the leeward side of ridgelines and cross-loaded slopes at mid and upper elevations. Avoid smooth rounded deposits of new snow, and stay off of steep slopes if you experience any cracking or collapsing. Any solar warmed slope has the potential to release wet loose avalanches that could step down and trigger deeper wet slab avalanches running into low elevation terrain.
