Stormy weather has created hazardous avalanche conditions at higher elevations. Adopt a conservative approach in avalanche terrain.
Recent stormy weather has formed storm and wind slabs, especially concerning at higher elevations. At these altitudes, snowfall has been more consistent, and ground roughness is largely now buried.
No avalanche activity has been reported.
Over the last few days, as much as 60 cm of new snow has fallen at upper elevations, accompanied by strong to extreme alpine winds.
Various hard surfaces, including crusts or previously wind-affected snow, may exist below the recent storm snow.
