The beginning of a very serious Roof Avalanche issue commenced after sundown as the temperatures began to cool. Extremely large/dangerous layers of ice are combined with over a meter of snow on many roofs and these are very deadly. There continues to be significant Hang Fire on many roofs and with the rising temperatures in the am this may help exacerbate this hazard.
Wind Slab issues are most likely increasing over night with the aforementioned winds, and the forecast for continued moderate to strong winds most likely will elevate the danger and this hazard significantly; and any additional snowfall will combine to contribute to more Cornice issue as well as growing sensitive Wind Slabs.
Danger observed in areas traveled today was Low, and Wednesday should at the very least be Moderate in the morning for isolated Wind Slabs. This Problem and subsequent Danger most likely will rise to Considerable if the forecast for incoming snow validates.
