Avalanche

Avoid avalanche terrain in the few places with hard wind slabs from this weekend. The slabs are resting on weak snow and can be touchy. Remote triggering is possible, and avalanches can become large. At high elevations there is weak snow deep in the snowpack. It is not easy to trigger, but avalanches will be large. (NVE)

Avoid avalanche terrain in the few places with hard wind slabs from this weekend. The slabs are resting on weak snow and can be touchy. Remote triggering is possible, and avalanches can become large. Also, small, fresh wind drifts in sheltered terrain will be easy to trigger in the afternoon. (NVE)

Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. In areas where wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, it will be easier to trigger an avalanche. (NVE)

Avoid being in or close to avalanche terrain that got loaded this weekend. The slabs are resting on very weak snow and are reactive. Remote triggering is possible, avalanches can become very large. At high elevations there is weak snow deep in the snowpack. It is not easy to trigger, but avalanches will be large. (NVE)
