South Coast

Storm slabs may form throughout the day at upper elevations.

Use small, low-consequence slopes to test the bond of the new snow.

We haven't received any field reports for this region yet.

Please consider sharing your observations to the MIN.

At upper elevations, 5 to 15 cm of recent snow has been redistributed by southerly wind.

We suspect there is up to 80 cm of snow in the alpine.

A thick crust is likely present below the recent snow at upper elevations.

Snow depth tapers rapidly with elevation.

Rocks, stumps, logs, and open creeks pose a significant hazard in many areas.

• Watch for fresh storm slabs building throughout the day.
• Use small, low consequence slopes to test the bond of the new snow.
• If it's deep enough to ride, it's deep enough to slide (avalanche).
• Be cautious of buried obstacles, especially below treeline.
