Forecast of Avalanche Danger....
The Concerns are...
1. Slabs in the Alpine and Treeline !
2. Loose Snow Avalanches at ALL Elevations where Terrain Traps exist !
3. At and below Treeline in Shallow Snowpack Areas, a Facet on Crust persistent weak layer buried in Early December. Avalanche Danger rated based on about 25cms. of New Snow and little Windslab formation over the last few days.
Travel Advisory.....
Avoid Slopes of more than 30 degrees if firm slabby layers exist on the Surface.
On ALL Slopes , minimize or eliminate exposer to Terrain Traps, such as Gullies, Treewells , depression, & Sharpe transitions from Sharpe to Flat.
Ok....
ALPINE....CONSIDERABLE
TREELINE.....MODERATE
BELOW TREELINE....LOW
