Kernpunkte

Normal Caution is advised keeping an eye out for unlikely isolated instability where wind drifted snow has deposited just off of ridgetops and sub ridges, especially below cornice features in above treeline and near treeline terrain. LOW avalanche danger is forecast on a regional scale for all elevations.

    There is plenty of recently wind drifted snow in near treeline and above treeline avalanche start zones along the Sierra Crest to create pause for concern, but we have not seen any signs of or received reports of associated wind slab instability over the past two days. SW winds kicked up a little bit last night with some snow still on the ridgetops and available for some minor additional drifting. Even though the vast majority of slopes are expected to be stable today, don't let this allow for complacency to take hold. Keep isolated instability as a factor in your decision making process when moving around or through slopes just off of ridgetops and sub ridges, especially below cornice features where recently wind drifted snow and potential isolated unstable wind slab could exist.

    Cloud cover is expected to be thick enough and widespread enough today to keep loose wet avalanche problems from forming.

Avalanche Discussion

* Recent new snow amounts of 3 to 5 inches along the Sierra Crest from Saturday with as much as 8 to 10 inches of wind drifted snow deposited into the more efficiently wind loaded avalanche start zones near and above treeline on N-NE-E aspects. The Carson Range on the eastern side of the forecast area received just a trace to 1 inch with little to no drifting.

* Despite the recent load of wind drifted snow, no signs of wind slab instability have been reported in the past two days.
