Avalanche Summary
On Tuesday and Wednesday there were reports of skier triggered thin wind slabs to size 1.5. On Wednesday loose wet avalanches to size 1 were observed in the afternoon on solar aspects.
Snowpack Summary
At upper elevations, up to 15 cm of recent new snow sits on a melt-freeze crust or moist snow. Some of this has been redistributed by southwesterly winds which may have formed isolated thin wind slabs. At lower elevations, expect to see a supportive crust on or near the surface if there is a good overnight freeze. This crust sits above a largely moist or wet snowpack.
