Continually assess conditions as you move through terrain. Rider triggerable wind slabs may still be found on lee and cross loaded features in the alpine.

• Be careful with wind slabs, especially in steep, unsupported and/or convex terrain features.
• Minimize your exposure time below cornices.
• As surface loses cohesion due to melting, loose wet avalanches become common in steeper terrain.

Numerous wet loose and dry loose avalanches up to size 1 were reported on Wednesday.

A new crust can be found at or near the surface on all but high north facing terrain. Rider triggerable wind slab could still be found in the alpine on west through east aspects.

Several crusts or moist layers can be found in the upper snowpack. A well settled snowpack exists below.
