The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE at all aspects and elevations where it will be likely for humans to trigger avalanches failing on a layer of weak sugary faceted snow now buried under new snow and wind drifts. These avalanches could be 1'-3' deep and could be larger if they involve the facets near the ground.
With warming temperatures and rain up to 8,500' there is a possibility of wet snow avalanches in mid and lower elevation terrain.
With warming temperatures and rain up to 8,500' there is a possibility of wet snow avalanches in mid and lower elevation terrain.
Strong winds created fresh wind-drifts at mid and upper elevations. These drifts may break above you; and can be avoided by choosing to travel on lower angle, less than 30° slopes out of the wind zone.
