Westerly winds have rapidly increased the severity of our Windslab problem. Avoid wind loaded slopes be mindful of your overhead hazard.
Fresh Windslabs reactive to ski cuts at ridge top today at cameron lakes. Warming temperatures wednesday will make Windslabs easier to trigger
The November facet/ melt freeze crust combo still lurks near the base of the snowpack. This layer could still be triggered by people in thinner snowpack areas, or by large triggers including cornices or smaller avalanches.
Strong - Extreme Westerly winds continue to develop Windslab in lee areas. A deteriorating melt freeze crust exists on all aspects up to 1800m. Above 1800m, 85-120cm of well settled snow from previous storm sits on top of a weak facet/ melt freeze crust near the base of the snowpack. Reactivity of this basal weakness is variable & warrants caution.
