    Higher elevation, lee slopes and gully feature areas may have developed wind slabs during the storm that came in from the north. Evaluate the snowpack for stability prior to stepping into it. Limited field observations thus far this season.

Weather Forecast

Continuing cold with a light northerly flow. No new snow load forecast. Temperatures moderating somewhat by Saturday.

Snowpack Summary

Little Prairie has 67cm snow . Summit Lake = 100 cm total. Instabilities within the 25 to 35 cm of storm slab and at the old snow faceted interface indicate skiers could trigger avalanches in steep unanchored terrain at higher elevation areas.

Avalanche Summary

Limited observations due to poor visibility.

Confidence

The weather pattern is stable
