The mountains have received 2 feet of new snow with over 2 inches of moisture since Saturday afternoon. Some areas have received close to 3 feet with with over 2.5 inches of moisture since Friday evening. Southwest to northwest winds have caused extensive drifting at the upper elevations, some drifting at the mid elevations and localized drifting at the lower elevations. Large slab avalanches are likely to be easily triggered on steep avalanche prone slopes at the upper elevations and can be triggered in steep avalanche terrain at the mid elevations. At the lower elevations skiers and riders could trigger small pockets of soft slab in steep wind loaded avalanche starting zones. Expert route finding skills and conservative terrain decisions are essential for safe travel in avalanche terrain today.
