This forecast applies to back country avalanche terrain below 
7000 feet and does not apply to highways or operating ski areas.

ZONE AVALANCHE FORECASTS
*	MT HOOD AREA-
Sunday and Monday: Moderate avalanche danger below 7000 
feet
Sunday afternoon to Monday night: Avalanche danger 
slightly increasing.

SNOWPACK SYNOPSIS
The last significant winds and snow was last week. Signs of 
instability and several avalanches were reported during that 
time. No avalanches have been reported since then so there 
seems to have been some stabilizing. But signs of local 
instability are also persisting in some areas.

SUNDAY MORNING
Varied snow conditions should be expected. Backcountry 
travelers should use caution near steep terrain since 
triggered avalanches should be possible.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT
Increasing winds and light rain or snow is expected. But new 
snow or rain amounts should be light and not cause a 
significant change in snow stability in the Mt Hood area.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT
A significant warming trend should be seen Monday. Triggered 
wet snow avalanches may be possible on some slopes. Use 
increasing caution on steep slopes with more than a couple 
inches of wet snow.
&&

Backcountry travelers should be aware that elevation and 
geographic distinctions are approximate and that a transition 
zone between dangers exists.  Remember there are avalanche safe 
areas in the mountains during all levels of avalanche danger.  
Contact local authorities in your area of interest for further 
information.

SUNDAY MORNING
Varied snow conditions should be expected. Backcountry 
travelers should use caution near steep terrain since 
triggered avalanches should be possible.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT
Increasing winds and increasing snow is expected especially 
in the Olympics and near and west of the crest in the north 
Cascades. This should cause an increasing avalanche danger 
as new potential unstable snow build on some slopes.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT
Winds should decrease and rain or snow should end Monday 
morning. However a significant warming trend should be seen 
Monday. Triggered wet snow avalanches should be probable on 
some slopes mainly in the Olympics and north Cascades.
