Risk of snagging and falling due to small snowdrift accumulations.
The avalanche danger is low. Snowdrift accumulations in steep, blown-in areas can occasionally be triggered as a small slab by a small additional load.
Small, older snowdrift accumulations lie on surface hoar in some places. Below the melt-freeze crust near the surface, faceted crystals can be found at higher elevations down to the ground. There is little snow on the south side.
With stronger winds and new fallen snow, the wind slab problem will increase from Wednesday evening.
