March 22, 2011 at 6:52 Avalanche danger is MODERATE for all elevations and aspects on slopes 35 degrees and steeper today due to a combination of recent wind loading and warming instability. Small to medium size human triggered avalanches remain possible today in a variety of areas. Large human triggered avalanches remain possible in isolated areas. Increasing avalanche danger is expected tonight into Wednesday. |

March 24, 2011 at 7:00 The avalanche danger will rise to HIGH on NW-N-NE-E-SE aspects on slopes steeper than 35 degrees at all elevations today and tonight. On the S-SW-W aspects the avalanche danger will reach CONSIDERABLE on slopes steeper than 35 degrees. Large natural and human-triggered avalanche will become likely due to to strong winds and intense snowfall during the next 24 hours. |

March 29, 2011 at 6:45 Early this morning, avalanche danger is LOW for all elevations and aspects. As daytime warming occurs, areas of MODERATE danger will form on E-SE-S aspects at all elevations on slopes 37 degrees and steeper. For all other areas, avalanche danger will remain LOW. The greatest areas of instability today are expected to form in the southern portion of the forecast area. |
