Light flurries and SW winds forecast for the region. Generally trace amounts of new precip which is not expected to overload the existing snowpack.
Low probability, high consequence problem at the moment.
Use caution around thin to thick areas as potential trigger locations. Keep an eye out for buried surface hoar lurking in isolated sheltered locations below treeline.
Wednesday morning, expect sunny periods and isolated flurries in the afternoon with only a trace, up to ~4cm of new snow. Alpine temperatures: Low -15 C, High -8 C.
Surface faceting continues with cooler temperatures. Previous winds have stripped snow from all exposed terrain creating hard wind slabs and wind affected snow in any open terrain. The mid-pack is supportive. Decomposing surface hoar is found down 40cm to 80cm in isolated sheltered locations.
Field team reports no new avalanche activity observed.
