Use caution around thin to thick areas as potential trigger locations. Keep an eye out for buried surface hoar lurking in isolated sheltered locations below treeline.
A pretty stagnant air mass
Cloudy with sunny periods
Day time highs -10 with overnight lows -16
Winds will continue to stay light
Continued surface faceting with cooler temperatures. Previous strong to extreme winds have stripped snow from all exposed terrain creating a lot of hard wind slabs and wind affected snow in open terrain below treeline to the alpine. The midpack is supportive. Decomposing surface hoar is found down 40cm to 80cm in isolated sheltered locations.
