Watch for changing conditions as you gain elevation. Wind slabs remain reactive to riders, and fresh slabs are likely to form on Monday night.
Recent storm snow has shown reactivity to rider triggers in wind affected terrain. Avoid hollow, drum-like sounding snow near ridgelines.
On Sunday, natural, rider and explosive triggered avalanches were reported to size 2. Activity primarily occurred in lee, wind affected terrain features. We expect this activity to continue with more snow and moderate southwest winds.
Check out the Husume and Disease Ridge MINS for more details.
By Tuesday afternoon, recent storm totals are expected to reach 30-50 cm above treeline. Higher elevations are wind affected, with deeper and more reactive slabs in north and east facing terrain.
A widespread crust and facets from late January are buried 40-80 cm deep. The mid and lower snowpack are well settled and strong.
