    Forecast new snow and strong winds are expected to create touchy storm slabs reactive to human triggers; especially in wind affected terrain.

    New snow below treeline may quickly become moist and increase the likelihood of loose wet avalanches.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were reported in this region on Wednesday. However, I would expect the incoming storm on Thursday night to form fresh storm slabs reactive to human triggers; especially in wind affected terrain at treeline and above.

Snowpack Summary

The incoming snow and strong winds on Thursday night will create touchy storm slabs at treeline and above.In the south of the region, two layers of surface hoar are buried early-March and mid-March are approximately 70-100 cm deep and most prominent on north to east aspects. Further north, these layers are around 40 cm deep.Below these March layers the mid-pack is generally well-settled and strong. However in the far north of the region there are weak sugary facets near the bottom of the snowpack.
