    Wind slabs may remain reactive in alpine terrain, particularly where they sit above a loose, faceted upper snowpack.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

We have not received any new reports of avalanches since last Saturday when a few large (size 3) wind slab avalanches were triggered on southwest aspects at treeline and alpine elevations.

If you do head into the backcountry consider submitting a MIN post.

Snowpack Summary

Extensive wind-affected surfaces are found in alpine and exposed treeline terrain. In wind-sheltered terrain, the upper snowpack is largely low-density and faceted. A hard melt-freeze crust from mid-January may exist approximately 50 to 90 cm deep.

The lower snowpack is consolidated and strong

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Pay attention to isolated wind affected features in the alpine, as well as cross-loaded features at treeline.
  • Seek out sheltered terrain where new snow hasn't been affected by wind.
  • Avoid slopes that sound hollow or drum-like.
