Assess steep lines at upper elevations for wind slab.
Wind slab could still be found on isolated features at higher elevations. These slabs could be more reactive if they overlie facets or surface hoar.
No new avalanches have been reported in a few days.
Check out this MIN from our field team to get some great details on surface conditions.
A variety of surfaces can be found at upper elevations including a crust on sun exposed slopes, wind slab and soft faceted snow in sheltered terrain. It is possible that wind slab has formed over facets and surface hoar in isolated areas.
The mid pack contains several other crusts.
Below treeline, most areas are below the threshold for forming avalanches.
