Points saillants

Avalanches will be possible where wind has created snow drifts at upper elevations. Use caution if you find yourself above treeline on Saturday. If in doubt, choose smaller and lower angle slopes.

    For Saturday, wind slabs are the main avalanche problem, specifically in the alpine. With the rain/snow level hovering around 8,500ft on Friday and a few more inches of snow possible on Saturday, wind slabs will likely be isolated to the highest peaks in our area. If you find yourself travelling to these upper elevation zones, use caution on wind-loaded slopes. Be on the lookout for areas where the wind has transported snow, cracking, and/or collapsing. We still have a very shallow snowpack with lots of exposed rocks and other hazards. Avalanche outcomes could be worse due to our current low snow depth and exposed hazards.
