Assess steep lines at upper elevations for wind slab.
Rider triggerable wind slab may still be found in the alpine. These slabs could be more reactive where they overlie facets.
No new avalanches have been reported since Monday.
A variety of conditions can be found in exposed terrain at treeline and above including crusty and wind effected surfaces. In sheltered terrain there is up to 5 cm of snow on top of a breakable crust. In isolated areas in the alpine, hard wind slabs overlie sugary facets above a crust and may be susceptible to human triggering.
The remainder of the snowpack is generally not concerning.
