Wind slabs in open areas and good skiing in sheltered places. Approach the Alpine with caution.
Watch for windslabs in alpine areas in the upper snowpack. Gullies and ridgelines are common areas to find these issues.
Recent test results indicate moderate to hard results on facets above the Nov crust layer.
Friday will bring yet another windy day with strong Westerly winds. Temperatures will start to warm up to -1c with a mixed bag of sun, cloud and flurries.
No new avalanches have been noted.
Expect to find wind slabs in the alpine and loose snow in sheltered areas. The two layers that are being tracked right now are:
1. Several generations of wind slabs in the upper 40cm of the snowpack producing moderate to hard test results.
2.The November 5 crust is sitting about 50cm off the ground. You can find up to 10cm of facets sitting overtop of the crust and still producing test results on the facets. This layer is found all the way into the alpine.
