Riders could trigger wind slabs in wind-exposed terrain. Seek areas sheltered from the wind for the best riding.
Strong wind from variable directions has formed wind slabs on all aspects in wind-exposed terrain. Wind slabs may be most reactive where they sit on weak facetted grains.
We haven't received any recent reports of avalanche from the weekend.
Looking forward, riders could trigger wind slabs in exposed terrain.
