Assess for wind slabs in steep terrain near ridgetop.
With a shifting wind direction, wind slabs may be found on all aspects. Assess for slabs before committing to high-consequence terrain.
We haven't received any recent reports of avalanches.
It remains possible that riders could trigger small wind slabs near ridgetop.
Please share any observations to the Mountain Information Network.
5 to 15 cm of new snow overlies a widespread crust to mountaintop. Southwest shifting to northeast wind may be loading terrain features on all aspects.
