Strong winds and new snow will form new wind slabs on leeward aspects that will gain depth and volume as the day progresses. These slabs are likely to be easily triggered by skiers and riders and will be large enough to bury or kill a person. In areas were the snow structure is poor, today's winds and snow could initiate the failure of very large, deep slab avalanches. These destructive avalanches could run long distances would be un-survivable. The general avalanche hazard is expected to increase to high at the upper elevations and may increase to high later in the day at the mid elevations. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended during periods of high avalanche hazard. Avoid known avalanche paths and their runout zones.
