Human-triggered avalanches are unlikely. Small wind slabs may be found in isolated areas or extreme terrain.

No new natural avalanche activity has been reported, explosive control triggered a small wind slab on Thursday.

The likelihood of rider-triggered avalanches has decreased but you could still trigger small wind slabs in isolated terrain features.

A thin crust can be found on steep, sun-exposed terrain. Wind slabs are likely bonding, but may be lingering in isolated terrain like steep, rocky lee features. A hard melt-freeze crust below 2100 m is buried at variable depths between 0 to 20 cm depending on elevation.

The middle of the snowpack is generally consolidated and sits above weak, faceted snow near the ground.

• Be careful with wind slabs, especially in steep, unsupported and/or convex terrain features.
