The upper elevation north through southeast facing steep terrain remains dangerous with a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger. Human triggered avalanches are again likely today in this terrain. Use careful routes and avoid the terrain described above. There is plenty of terrain out there in the mid elevations with excellent snow conditions and is also safe. Keep your slope angles under 35 degrees to avoid triggering an avalanche.

Weather and Snow

No huge change in conditions from Wednesday. Southerly facing slopes became damp but thin clouds kept the sun from heating the snow to the point of serious instability. Slabs over weak snow near the ground are settling and becoming more stubborn but are still unpredictable.
