Snowfall amounts across the region are variable, if the area you are travelling in has greater than 20 cm of snow, storm slabs are a concern.
Be willing to adjust plans to changing conditions.
Low density storm snow is forecasted for the region with the greatest amounts near Canal Flats where greater than 20 cm is possible. Where snowfall amounts are greatest storm slabs are possible, elsewhere dry loose is more likely.
On Sunday, numerous dry loose avalanches were reported throughout the region.
Going forward, low density storm snow will likely release as dry loose avalanches, slab formation is possible in areas that receive over 20 cm of storm snow.
Storm snow amounts are variable across the region with highest amounts in the southeast near Canal Flats.
Up to 20 cm of low density storm snow will bring total snow depths to 18 to 25 cm over a facet/crust, (and in sheltered TL and BTL terrain) surface hoar.
Below this, the mid and lower snowpack are well settled with several layers of crust
