Points saillants

Avalanche activity is unlikely on Friday. Continue to use your observation skills and identify isolated features that may harbor unstable snow, such as small patches of wind deposited snow on high elevation northerly facing slopes. Remember, even small avalanches can have some consequences in steep terrain.

    I have not found evindence of reactive wind slabs. I did find some isolated and patchy wind slabs up to 6 inches deep but I could not get them to move or show any signs of cracking. I wan't to keep this problem on for another day just to keep it in mind for those people looking to ride any steep terrain where triggering a small slab could result in a fall down the slope. There is a lot of terrain out there and we do see quite a bit of variability in conditions across the forecasting zone.

    This is the biggest wind slab I could find on a north facing slope near treeline on Thursday. It was about 6" deep. I could not make the slab move or crack.
