Avoid alpine terrain. The best and safest riding will be in sheltered areas in the trees.
The potential for human-triggered avalanches is likely to persist for several days.
Lots of new snow and wind has built wind slabs that may fail naturally. Cold temperatures will likely prolong this problem.
On Tuesday, the wind may change directions to the east. If this happens, expect wind slabs on all aspects.
No new avalanches have been reported, but information is limited.
Consider posting a report if you're in the backcountry.
Anywhere from 15 to 30 cm of snow fell on Friday night into Saturday and is being redistributed into lee features.
Underneath all the soft, new snow from this week which totals around 40 to 50 cm, the mid and lower snowpack consists of several, thick crusts that are not currently a concern.
Snowpack depth is estimated to be 100 to 150 cm.
