Continually assess new snow amounts throughout the day. If more than 20 cm of new snow is observed expect reactive storm slabs.
Reactive storm slabs could form throughout the day. The largest and most reactive slabs will likely be found on northerly aspects. Larger than expected storm slabs are possible on southerly slopes and at lower elevations due to the underlying crust.
No new avalanches were reported in this region over the past few days.
We expect rider triggerable storm slabs will form throughout the day on Saturday.
Up to 25 cm of new storm snow is expected with southeast winds. This new snow will fall over a crust on solar aspects and at lower elevations, it may not bond well.
In general the mid and lower snowpack is well settled and bonded.
