Windslabs are still sensitive to human triggering on lee features at treeline and above. Cornices will also be a concern with the new snow and wind.

  • Watch for whumpfing, hollow sounds, and shooting cracks.
  • Use caution in lee areas. Recent wind loading have created wind slabs.

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