Snowfall Expected Next 24 Hours: 0" G E N E R A L - A V A L A N C H E - A D V I S O R Y In the last 24 hours 8 to 10 inches of new snow fell at the mid and upper elevations. Storm totals for the past 48 hours have reached two feet. Soft slabs and sloughs to three feet in depth will be easily triggered or run naturally at Mid and Upper elevations on most aspects. Smooth crusts will enable slides to move quickly and entrain large amounts of snow. Sunshine will further destabilize the snowpack making natural activity more likely at all elevations.
