Dangerous triggered deep slab avalanches failing on preexisting faceted weak layers at the bottom of the snowpack remain likely today, especially on drifted upper elevation slopes. You could trigger dangerous avalanches remotely, from a distance or even from the flats below steep slopes. Many large and long running natural avalanches occurred in the Logan Zone in the past few days, and more are possible again today, so stay away from and out from under avalanche paths.

Fresh drifts formed yesterday and overnight in exposed upper and mid-elevation terrain. Triggered wind slab avalanches are likely on steep slopes again today, and a smaller avalanche overrunning a slope with poor snow structure or saturated snow could cause a step-down into weak old snow and result in a much larger and more dangerous avalanche. Avoid stiffer drifted snow on the lee sides of major ridge lines and in and around terrain features like rock outcroppings and gullies.

Rain saturated lower elevation snow, and warm temperatures kept it soft and unstable, and we've seen some large and scary wet slabs in the area this weekend. But, cooler temperatures overnight and a good refreeze should help the situation significantly today. Solar warming could cause the saturated snow on sunny sheltered slopes at lower and mid elevations to soften up though, potentially creating dangerous wet avalanche conditions in some areas.
