The new snow falling over the weekend came with strong east and northeast wind, so expect to find wind slabs in areas you normally don't see them.
Up to 40 cm of recent snow coupled with moderate to strong east and north east wind have formed wind slabs in lee terrain. Expect to find slabs in areas where you don't normally see them.
There is no new avalanche activity to report on Monday.
There were reports of numerous skier controlled dry loose and wind slab avalanches to size 1 and 1.5 on Sunday.
20 - 40 cm of recent snow has accumulated over a crust at most elevations.
There is a layer of sugary facets that are buried 30-50 cm deep and in some places may sit on a crust. Avalanches on this layer are unlikely, but we continued to monitor its reactivity.
The lower snowpack contains a series of crusts and faceted snow.
