The forecast is for a few inches of new snow during the day on Saturday. Above the forrest this snow will be blown around by Moderate winds and redistributed onto East slopes. The winds will be shifting from Southwest in the morning to West and Northwest later in the day. With only a few inches of new snow, Wind Slabs will be mostly shallow, but could be large enough to knock a rider off their feet. I've always liked the rule of thumb that wind accumulated snow could be 3-5 times deeper than what you're finding in areas not effected by wind.
