Points saillants

Pay attention to the wind; once it starts to blow, sensitive wind slabs are likely to form.

Windslabs are most reactive shortly after they form.

Avalanche Summary

A few small, human-triggered, wind slab avalanches were reported in the region on Thursday in isolated features. We anticipate new windslabs forming when the wind speed increases.

Snowpack Summary

Fresh windslabs can be found in the alpine where the wind has deposited snow. The top 10 to 40 cm of snow is faceted (sugary crystals). The middle and lower snowpack consists of rounds and a few crust layers, these are of no concern at this time.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Pay attention to the wind; once it starts to blow, sensitive wind slabs are likely to form.
  • Stay off recently wind loaded slopes until they have had a chance to stabilize.
  • Use ridges or ribs to avoid areas of wind-loaded snow.
