BTNF Forecast for February 01, 2003: 
Elev AM PM 
High  Cons High 
Mid  Cons High 
Low  Cons High 
Very warm temperatures, rain and strong southwest winds continue to create unstable conditions. 
Dense slabs up to several feet in depth exist in steep wind loaded starting zones and cliff areas. 
At the mid and upper elevations these DANGEROUS slabs could be triggered today. In the big peaks 
large destructive naturally triggered avalanches could entrain large volumes of snow and run full 
track to the valley floor. Wet slides which could step to the ground are possible at the mid and lower 
elevations especially if significant rain occurs. With new snow and rain in the forecast the hazard 
will increase as the day progresses. TRAVEL IN AVALANCHE TERRAIN IS NOT RECOMMENDED THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING.
