GENERAL AVALANCHE ADVISORY
New snow and strong southwest winds will combine to increase the hazard during the day. Dense surface slabs could be human triggered in steep avalanche starting zones and cliff areas. In areas with poor snowpack structure humans could trigger dangerous deep persistent slabs. At the lower elevations wet slides are possible on steep snow covered slopes that receive rain.TODAY'S AVALANCHE PROBLEMS View problem definitions
