Assess for wind slabs in steep terrain.

We haven't received reports of recent avalanches. Looking forward, isolated pockets of wind slabs could be triggered by riders in steep lee terrain features.

5 to 10 cm of soft snow from the weekend overlies a settled snowpack. Southerly wind may have formed pockets of wind slabs in lee terrain features.

Snow depths at White Pass are around 100 cm in sheltered areas and 200 cm on wind-loaded slopes.

Monday night

Partly cloudy, no precipitation, northeast gusts to 20 km/h, treeline temperatures drop to -12 °C.

Tuesday

Mix of sun and cloud, no precipitation, 10 to 20 km/h northeast wind, treeline temperatures around -10 °C.

Cloudy with isolated flurries bringing up to 3 cm of snow, 20 to 30 km/h southwest wind, treeline temperatures -10 °C.

Partly cloudy, isolated flurries with trace accumulations, 20 km/h northeast wind, treeline temperatures -10 °C.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

• Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind affected terrain.
• Use ridges or ribs to avoid areas of wind loaded snow.
• The best and safest riding will be on slopes that have soft snow without any slab properties.
