GENERAL AVALANCHE ADVISORY
Rising temperatures will increase the hazard as the day warms. Temperatures at the upper elevations remained mostly above freezing overnight and rose well into the 40s yesterday. At the mid and upper elevations humans could trigger dense surface slabs up to two feet in depth in isolated areas. Shallow wet loose slides are also possible in steep sunlit cliff areas. Cornices may be weakened and could fail and trigger dense surface slabs on steep slopes. Avalanches are unlikely at the lower elevations.TODAY'S AVALANCHE PROBLEMS View problem definitions
