Keep an eye on the weather, as new snow accumulates avalanche danger will increase
Adjust your objectives if you see signs of instability
New storm slabs could form throughout the day on Saturday. These slabs will be largest and most reactive on northerly slopes.
On Wednesday, several natural storm slabs (up to size 1.5) were reported on northerly aspects at treeline. Human triggered storm slabs also easily triggered (up to size 1) on west, north and east aspects at treeline and below.
No new avalanches were reported on Thursday.
Up to 20 cm of new snow accompanied by light to moderate southeast wind will likely form new wind slabs on northerly aspects on Saturday.
A crust from early March can be found down 40 to 100 cm. The snow above is well bonded to this crust. Below this, the snowpack is well consolidated and strong.
