Yukon

Assess for wind slabs before entering high-consequence terrain. Watch for warming-related problems during the heat of the day.

This is the final daily avalanche forecast for the season.

We haven't received any recent reports for this region. We suspect that riders could trigger small wind slabs in steep lee terrain features. Also use caution near cornices and on sun-exposed slopes during the heat of the day.

Please consider sharing your observations to the Mountain Information Network.

Around 5 to 10 cm of soft dry snow may prevail on northerly alpine slopes. Wind slabs may linger in alpine lee terrain features. Southerly slopes are likely hard with a surface melt-freeze crust or wind-pressed snow.

There are no deeper layers of concern at this time. Thin snowpack areas may host various weak layers lower in the snowpack, which are likely dormant with the cool weather trend.

• Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
• Be alert to conditions that change with elevation, aspect, and exposure to wind.
• Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
• Avoid sun-exposed slopes, especially if the snow surface is moist or wet.
