Rideable lines remain on north and east facing slopes, particularly in gully features. Watch for small but reactive slabs forming in these features.
Small but reactive wind slabs may develop on Sunday, and again on Tuesday. With rapidly falling temperatures, slabs may not bond well with the old snow surface.
Several small cornice-triggered avalanches were observed in the Tablelands on Wednesday.
Fresh wind slabs forming on Sunday and Tuesday are likely to be reactive to human triggers.
Many south and west-facing slopes are snow-free, except for gullies. North and east-facing terrain may still have enough coverage for riding and threshold depths for avalanches. In these terrain features, small wind slabs are expected to form over a snowpack that consists of crusts and refrozen snow.
