  Moderate NW winds have begun to redistribute the recent 50 cm of storm snow into wind slabs on alpine and open treeline slopes. These slabs will be reactive. Avoid wind loaded slopes.

  50 cm of snow fell during the latest storm. A widespread avalanche cycle resulted. This new snow is sitting on a well developed surface hoar layer. This instability will be a concern for a long time! Conservative decision making is essential.
