Watch for new storm slabs building over the day.
New storm slabs may form over the day with new snow and strong wind. The deepest and touchiest deposits may be found immediately adjacent to ridges at higher elevations.
We haven't received any reports of recent avalanche activity.
Please consider posting a MIN if you head into the backcountry.
10 to 20 cm of snow is forecast by the end of Wednesday, which will fall with strong southwest wind. New storm slabs may form, with the deepest and touchiest deposits likely found in lee terrain features.
Around 30 to 60 cm of snow may overly surface hoar and/or faceted grains and a hard melt-freeze crust from mid-November. Weak faceted grains may extend to the base of the snowpack, particularly in areas where the snowpack is thin.
Snow depths at treeline vary from about 50 to 100 cm and decrease rapidly at lower elevations.
