  Moderate to Strong Northerly winds have developed extensive wind slab on lee slopes and have cross loaded gulley features. A stiff wind slab is present on almost all slopes. There may have enough mass in these slabs to release the basal facets.

  Cornices have developed above wind-loaded features. Several avalanches (size 2 to 3) have been triggered by both human-caused and natural cornice fall. These large loads have released slopes down to the basal facets in the alpine.

  Large loads (large cornice fall) have been able to trigger this weakness recently on fatter wind-loaded slopes in the alpine.
