    • Below treeline
    Likelihood
    Possible
    Size
    1–3
    Snowflurries have deposited up to 24 cm overnight in the icefields area. SW winds are creating new wind slabs primarily in the alpine and exposed treeline locations.

  • Persistent Slabs

    • Alpine
    • Treeline
    • Below treeline
    Likelihood
    Possible - Likely
    Size

    Recent natural avalanche activity has declined but this snowpack weakness remains very touchy and easily collapses with skier presence.

  • Storm Slabs

    • Alpine
    • Treeline
    • Below treeline
    Likelihood
    Possible
    Size
    1–3
