Heavy snowfall and increasing winds will create dangerous conditions as the hazard rapidly increases to considerable at the mid and upper elevations and moderate at the lower elevations. New soft slabs are likely to be sensitive to human triggers. Natural releases are possible. In areas with poor snow structure large slab avalanches could fail on buried persistent weak layers and step down through old snow layers. Expert snowpack evaluation and route selection skills are essential for safe travel in avalanche terrain.
