</style><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Friday, five more deeply buried weak layers released and formed large to very large avalanches (size 2 to 3.5). They were triggered naturally, by skiers, and by explosives and released on northeast, north, and west aspects, between 2300 and 2700 m, and inclines over 35 degrees. They likely released within the weak layers described in the snowpack summary. Otherwise, numerous wind and storm slab avalanches also released small to large avalanches (size 1 to 3), on all aspects and generally in alpine terrain.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Thursday, small to large (size 1 to 2) storm slab and wind slab avalanches were triggered naturally and by skiers. They were generally at treeline and alpine elevations and on all aspects. A natural avalanche, likely on the layer buried 80 to 120 cm, released in the alpine from very steep terrain.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">For the weekend, the likelihood of triggering avalanches may increase due to the substantial amount of warming expected around upper below treeline, treeline, and alpine elevations. Watch out in thin snowpack areas, where the likelihood of triggering deeper layers is the highest.
