Continue to make conservative terrain choices. The storm snow likely hasn't bonded to the underlying crust.
New storm and wind slabs will have form throughout the day on Monday. Size and sensitivity to triggering will be greatest near ridge crests and steep roll overs on north and east facing terrain where wind loading is likely to occur.
Monday night: Flurries bringing up to 5 cm of new snow with moderate west winds. Low of -3 at 1500 m.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy with light flurries bringing up to 5 cm of new snow. Moderate west wind and freezing level around 1500 m.
Wednesday: Sunny with no new snow expected. Light westerly wind and freezing levels rising to 1800 m.
Thursday: Sunny with no new snow expected. Light to moderate wouthwest winds and freezing levels rising to 2300 m.
Early reports on Monday indicate small storm slabs were reactive to ski cuts. Several size one natural cornice falls were also reported.
New wind and storm slabs have formed throughout the day on Monday. Below this new snow a crust exists on all aspects and elevations. This crust will likely be found near the surface at lower elevations and become moist as the freezing level rises.
Multiple crusts exist in the upper snowpack. The mid and lower snowpack are well settled.
