    Small wind slabs may be lingering in steep alpine terrain.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

Small (size 1) human-triggered slab avalanches were reported over the weekend. These slabs have likely stabilized in most areas.

Snowpack Summary

Recent storm snow (30 to 100 cm) has likely settled and bonded, but small wind slabs may be possible on north and west-facing alpine features. Snow coverage remains thin at lower elevations.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • The snowpack is generally stable; it may be appropriate to step out into more complex terrain.
  • Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
  • Be cautious of buried obstacles, especially below treeline.
