    Winds will switch once again today and be moderate from the NE with gusts up to 45mph over exposed ridges.  These winds will continue to move small amounts of snow around in near treeline and above treeline terrain.  With limited available snow for transport, any new wind slab development is expected to be minor and not pose a risk to backcountry travel.

    Firm wind scoured surfaces and crusts exist in most near and above treeline terrain that could pose falling hazards.  Low snow conditions exist throughout the forecast area at lower elevations with many obstacles and hazards present.  Normal caution is advised.

Avalanche Discussion

* Observations from Meiss Ridge (Carson Pass area) showed very minor snow transport with strong SW winds over ridges.  Snow surfaces ranged from firm crusts in exposed areas to soft snow in wind protected areas.

* Recent strong winds have scoured most near and above treeline terrain along the Sierra Crest down to firm crusts.
