South Coast

Assess steep lines for wind slab. Lingering wind slabs may remain possible to trigger on steep slopes near ridge crests.

No new avalanches were reported in this region over the past couple days.

A sun crust exists on solar aspects. Recent southeasterly winds formed wind slabs on a variety of aspects at treeline and above. The above mentioned winds have formed large cornices.

These slabs are sitting on a crust that may have small facets associated with it in isolated locations.

The mid and lower snowpack is well-settled and strong.

Check out a recent North Shore Snowpack Update for a visual description of what the snowpack may look like in this region.
