The chance continues for skiers and riders to trigger slab avalanches in steep terrain at the mid and high elevations. Generally, two persistent weak snow layers lie in the snowpack. Avalanche events are most likely to involve wind formed slabs that lie over surface hoar and facets that were buried last week or could potentially involve a widespread weakness that was buried in late November. Identify features of concern and evaluate the snowpack prior to entering steep avalanche terrain. Avalanches are unlikely at the lower elevations except on isolated terrain features.
