Avalanche danger will increase today as new snow and wind form fresh slabs.
If you are seeing more than 20 cm of new snow by day's end, treat avalanche danger as one step higher.
Storm slab size and sensitivity to triggering will likely increase through the day. Slabs will be most reactive in wind-loaded terrain features at upper elevations.
No recent avalanche activity has been reported.
If you head out, please consider posting your observations to the Mountain Information Network.
10-15 cm of new snow falls on predominantly soft or wind-affected snow surfaces, and possibly sun crust on steep solar aspects.
A thick, widespread crust is buried 10 to 60 cm deep, depending on location, elevation and wind. Below the crust, the remainder of the snowpack is generally settled and well-bonded.
