As the freezing level falls avalanche activity will become unlikely.
Summary
Confidence
High - We have a good understanding of the snowpack structure and confidence in the weather forecast

Snowpack Summary
Wind slabs could be found at higher elevations on northerly aspects. As the freezing level falls a crust will likely form on all aspects and elevations. .
Below treeline, snowpack depths are below threshold for avalanches in many areas.
Terrain and Travel
- Small avalanches can have serious consequences in extreme terrain. Carefully evaluate your line for wind slab hazard before you commit to it.
- Wind slabs may be poorly bonded to the underlying crust.
Problems
Wind Slabs
Wind slabs could still be found at higher elevations. These wind slabs will likely be small but could be sensitive to rider traffic due to the crust underneath.
Aspects: North, North East, East, West, North West.
Elevations: Alpine.
