Continue to practice safe travel habits in the mountains, including questioning high-consequence terrain.
Riders triggered small (size 1) wind slabs on Monday. They were mostly in alpine terrain, on all aspects, and 10 to 30 cm deep. Some of them released on the hard crust described in the Snowpack Summary.
The snow surface is heavily wind affected in terrain exposed to the wind. Wind-sheltered terrain consists of 10 to 30 cm of settled dry snow, which overlies a thick and hard melt-freeze crust below approximately 1700 m. The crust is at the snow surface at lower elevations.
The middle of the snowpack may contain old, weak faceted layers and hard crusts, which are currently dormant.
