    Wind slabs of varying thickness and density are present in the Alpine on all aspects, especially along ridgelines and cross loaded features. Buried wind slabs are also present on N and E aspects down 25 to 55cm in the snowpack.

    The Nov rain crust is variable through the forecast area. In some areas it has facetted out, and in others it is still intact. Despite good test results, there is still a concern where the snowpack thins. Shallow spots deserve some caution still.
