South Coast Inland

Lingering small wind slabs may exist in isolated locations below alpine ridgetops.

Ride/hike to the conditions, backcountry travel may be challenging.

No new avalanches have been reported.

Lingering small wind slabs may exist below alpine ridgetops.

Above 1800 m, 10 - 20 cm of recent snow sits on a supportive crust.

Below 1800 m, recent snow amounts taper quickly and the crust increases in thickness.

Where snow still exists below treeline, it is isothermal and travel is very challenging.

• Even a small avalanche can be harmful if it pushes you into an obstacle or a terrain trap.
• Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
• When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
