Forecast snow and southerly wind may form small wind slabs at upper elevations. The new snow will overlie wet snow.

An old persistent weak layer may still be present 100 to 150 cm below the surface on high north-facing slopes.

Treeline elevations still hold over 200 cm of snow, but coverage is rapidly thinning at lower elevations.
