The Avalanche danger is Considerable in the upper elevations. Strong winds and light new snow have formed wind slabs on multiple aspects. Expect storm slabs 8-12 inches that will also be sensitive to the weight of a skier or snowmobiler from last nights snowfall. While the most sensitive snow lies in the upper snow pack, it remains possible to trigger an avalanche in older weak layers that are now buried 3-5 feet deep or more.
