Skiers triggered a slide up Hyalite drainage from low angled terrain yesterday (Friday, Nov 18). Weak, faceted snow near the ground is the culprit. i expect the high elevation gullies to also have unstable snow. Additionally these exposed couloirs will also have wind slabs. Be careful out there. I do not expect natural activity, unless the wind picks up, but human/climber triggered slides are a real possibility. Full advisory at www.mtavalanche.com/current
Be safe!

Low?
Does low-angle typically refer to sub-25 degrees when you use that term, Doug?
