Choose small, low consequence slopes.

New storm and wind slabs will likely remain reactive to rider traffic.

At the time of publishing we have not received any reports of avalanches but we suspect that storm slab avalanches have occurred throughout the region.

By early morning on December 8th up to 30 cm of new snow may have fallen. This new snow will overlie a variety of surfaces including a sun crust on steep south aspects and Surface hoar on northerly aspects.

The mid snowpack is generally well settled, with an early November crust buried 80 to 130 cm deep.

Snowpack depths taper rapidly below treeline.

• Continue to make conservative terrain choices while the storm snow settles and stabilizes.
• Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
• Be aware of the potential for large avalanches due to buried surface hoar.
