Watch for pockets of unstable wind slab in isolated lee terrain features at upper elevations.
Small amounts of new snow may form pockets of fresh wind slab. These may be particularly reactive where they sit over surface hoar or a crust.
No new avalanches have been reported.
If you are heading into the backcountry, please share your observations with the Mountain Information Network.
5 cm of new snow may fall on surface hoar in sheltered areas or crust on solar aspects, while adding to soft wind slabs in lee features at upper elevations.
Below this, depending on aspect and elevation, the top 30 cm may contain one or two layers of crust, facet and/or surface hoar formed in late January and early February.
The mid and lower snowpack is generally well settled, with no significant concerns.
