The 1-2 inches of new snow and the light winds forecasted for today should not create significant slabs on top of the stable snowpack. Without significant slab formation, avalanche activity will remain unlikely. This new snow will fall on top of frozen crusts on all aspects creating "dust on crust" conditions. Some minor sluffing of the new snow may occur on steep slopes, but with only 1 to 2 inches of snow to work with, these sluffs should remain small and isolated. Some small, shallow, and isolated wind drifts may also form in the most wind loaded areas, but these should not pose much threat to backcountry travelers due to meager snow accumulation amounts and light winds. If more snow falls than forecasted and the winds grow stronger than forecasted, some small wind slabs may form in areas that typically experience heavy wind loading.
