New storm and wind slabs will build throughout the day. These new slabs likely won't bond well to the underlying crust. Avalanche terrain should be avoided.
New snow and wind will form storm slabs throughout the day. The largest and most reactive slabs will likely be found on north and east aspects. Avalanches could be larger than expected due to the crust slabs will form over.
Observations are limited in this region. We suspect that natural storm slab activity will occur on Friday.
Up to 40cm of new snow has likely formed storm and wind slab at treeline and above as well as isolated features below treeline. The largest and most reactive slabs will be found on northerly aspects. A new crust likely extends from 1000m up to 1600m. Below 1000m the snow surface could still be moist.
Once again terrain below treeline has limited or no coverage.
