Wind slabs may exist on all aspects due to variable wind direction over the past couple days. Wind slabs are more likely to be found on or near ridge crests.
We have uncertainty due to limited observations, make assessments as you move through terrain.
Up high wind slabs may exist, low down early season hazards are just below the surface.

In general, observations are limited this time of year.
Wind has varied in direction over the past few days, wind slabs could be found on all aspects.
Below ridgetops there is an above average snowpack depth of 100 cm. Snowpack depth tapers with elevation to around 60 cm at the highway. Many early season hazards are just below the surface at this elevation.
Currently there are no layers of concern but data is limited. Thanks to everyone who has already submitted Mountain Information Network reports.
