Snow is available for transport. Moderate winds will build wind slabs at upper elevations.
Actively look for signs of instability and don't commit to steep slopes if the snow feels dense.
Low density snow and forecasted moderate wind has formed a wind slab problem that continues to be possible to human trigger. Expect wind loading, and danger to be greatest in open, higher elevation terrain.
No new avalanches reported.
Low density snow is available for transport, we suspect that small wind slabs may build with the forecasted moderate west winds. Human triggering is possible.
Cold, low-density snow has been redistributed by moderate westerly wind, developing wind slabs at upper elevations.
Consecutive storms have accumulated up to 130 cm of settling snow over a crust formed during the warm-up and buried on December 16th.
Snow depths at treeline range widely, from 100 to 300 cm as a result of wind redistribution.
