Triggering deeper instabilities is still possible.Dig before you commit to your line.
Keep your MIN reports coming as your eyes on the ground are appreciated.
A triggered windslab has a potential to step down to deeper instabilities with a more destructive potential. Consider testing smaller slopes before committing to a terrain with potential for larger propagation. Watch for hollow sounds and cracking.
Natural activity is decreasing as the recent new snow stabilizes, however, triggering this layer would be a high consequence event so cautious decisions and a thorough investigation is necessary.
Tuesday: Isolated flurries. Precipitation: Trace. Alpine temperature: High -9 °C. Ridge wind southwest: 15-30 km/h.
Wednesday: Flurries. Accumulation: 9 cm. Alpine temperature: Low -15 °C, High -7 °C. Ridge wind west: 20 km/h
Thursday: Isolated flurries. Precipitation: Trace. Alpine temperature: Low -21 °C, High -13 °C. Ridge wind west: 20 km/h
The midpack is quite supportive and the crust /facet /depth hoar November combo near the ground is the only layer of concern at the moment.
