Up high small wind slabs may exist, lower down early season hazards could be just below the surface
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.
New wind slabs could form during periods of moderate wind.
We haven't received any reports of avalanche activity since the weekend.
In general, observations are limited this time of year.
Wind has varied in direction over the past couple 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.
