Carefully assess steep terrain for wind slab before committing.
Seek out sheltered terrain for the best and safest riding.
Approach steep slopes near ridge crests with caution.
Recent strong wind means that wind slab could be found farther downslope than expected.
No avalanches have been reported in the past 5 days, but observations have been limited.
Cracking was observed in wind loaded features near treeline around Mt. Washington.
10 to 20 cm of recent snow with moderate to strong westerly wind has formed deep deposits on leeward slopes but may have scoured the surface back to a crust on windward terrain.
The remainder of the snowpack is well settled.
The snowpack depth at treeline ranges from 85 to 130 cm, there is very little snow below treeline.
