    At treeline 30-50 cm of settled storm snow sits overtop of the Jan 20 facet interface. Where the wind has created soft slabs this layer is touchy and reactive to skier triggering. Immediate lees of ridges above treeline are the areas of most concern.

  • Persistent Slabs

    In most parts of the forecast area a settled midpack overlies a weak facetted base. Be aware of steep shallow snowpack areas where the likelihood of triggering these basal facets is highest. The basal facets are still reactive east of the Divide.
