In sintesi

Assess for wind slab as you travel into exposed terrain.

Wind slabs may not bond well to the hard surface they will form over.

    New, reactive wind slabs could be found in exposed terrain. Due to the potential for strong winds wind slab may be found further down slope than expected.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported in the region.

Observations have been limited. Please consider sharing your observations through the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

Ongoing light snowfall and southerly wind has likely formed deeper deposits on northerly aspects and scoured or pressed south facing slopes.

10 to 30 cm of snow sits above a firm, supportive crust that extends up to 1500 m.

The remainder of the snowpack has no layers of concern. Snowpack depths range from about 70 to 180 cm.
