Large natural avalanches unlikely. Avalanches in steep locations are possible. Human triggered avalanches possible. The snowpack is only moderately well bonded on some steep slopes, or moderate to poorly bonded, in isolated steep locations as indicated in the reports. Elsewhere generally well bonded.
Human triggered avalanches possible. Experience in avalanche hazard evaluation important. Good visibility and good route selection required, especially in steep locations as indicated in the reports. Good spacing between persons is necessary to reduce loading on slopes. Good group management and use of safe travel mountain features important. (eg Ridges, protected slopes)
