Points saillants

Avalanches large enough to injure or kill a rider are unlikely on Tuesday.  Small amounts of new snow could create shallow Wind Slabs on North and East slopes.  Be cautious on lee slopes in the alpine where winds are stronger, or on slopes at treeline that have a large fetch (adjacent terrain that the wind can blow snow from).

    The danger from Wind Slab avalanches will be directly proportional to how much new snow we get.  With minimal amounts in the forecast I expect that for the most part Wind Slabs will be shallow.  As always look for currently blowing snow, and signs of previous blowing snow.  Assess the depth of new wind slabs on safe slopes less than 30 degrees.

Avalanche Discussion

Tuesday will be a good day to use your assessment skills.  Observing how much snow fell or didn't fall overnight should be a primary decision driver.  Similarly, simple observations of blowing snow and varying snow conditions across aspects will point you to the nicest snow and safe riding.
