20 to 25 cm of accumulated snow has developed into storm slabs. Human-triggered avalanches are more likely in lee features where east winds have helped consolidate the snow.
20 to 25 cm of accumulated new snow has formed a storm slab over a supportive melt-freeze crust, which may become more reactive as temperatures rise throughout the day and storm snow settles into a cohesive slab.
No new avalanche activity was reported. With the forecast snow and rising freezing levels, avalanche activity is expected to increase.
Data is limited in this region. Please consider posting your observations to the Mountain Information Network.
20 to 25 cm of accumulated storm snow has formed storm slabs at all elevations. These storm slabs may be more reactive on lee slopes from moderate easterly winds treeline and above. The new snow overlies a crust on all aspects and elevations.
A persistent weak layer of facets is sitting on top of a second buried crust down 100 to 180 cm. This layer is unlikely to human trigger in areas where a thick crust above the weak layer is present.
