    Expect to find wind slabs in lee terrain with recent winds and new snow.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

Snowpack Summary

Roughly 10 to 15 cm of new snow has buried a widespread crust. Strong winds have scoured surfaces down to the crust in most windward-facing terrain while forming deeper deposits of snow in lee terrain.

Currently, no significant concerns exist deeper in the snowpack.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Start with conservative lines and watch for clues of instability.
  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind affected terrain.
  • Wind slabs may be poorly bonded to the underlying crust.
