Snowfall Expected Next 24 Hours: Trace to 1" G E N E R A L - A V A L A N C H E - A D V I S O R Y The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE. West-southwest winds have formed new soft slabs to two feet in depth on leeward aspects. These surface slabs could be triggered by humans who venture into steep avalanche starting zones with fresh deposits of wind blown snow. A remote potential for large loads to trigger full depth avalanches may persist in isolated areas.
