As you're getting above the crust, start watching out for wind slabs in lee areas.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

On Monday, a small skier-triggered storm slab was reported on a north aspect in the alpine.

NOTE: Observations are currently very limited.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 20 cm of recent snow may be found at upper elevations. This snow overlies a robust crust everywhere except northerly aspects in the alpine. Westerly wind may have formed wind slabs on lee aspects.

Most terrain has undergone strong melt-freeze cycles, creating a strong, well bonded snowpack.

Weather Summary

Wednesday Night

Partly cloudy. 10 to 20 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1800 m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.

Avalanche Problems

Wind slabs may still exist in high, shaded spots.

Aspects: North, North East, East, South East.
