The General Avalanche Hazard is MODERATE at the Mid and Upper elevations and LOW at the 
Lower elevations this morning and could rise to CONSIDERABLE in the afternoon if clear 
skies prevail. Yesterday a skier triggered a 2 to 5 foot deep hardslab in a very steep, 
unskied area south of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Surface slabs one to three feet 
in depth and deeper hard slabs up to five feet will become more susceptible to failure 
as the day warms. In addition, any extended periods of sunshine, particularly in cirques 
and basins that concentrate the sun’s energy, could weaken the snow surface and allow for 
the possibility of pinwheels, wet loose sloughs, and cornice drops. Backcountry travelers 
need to pay attention to the amount of heating, and adjust their plans accordingly if 
signs of significant warming are observed.
