Thin wind slabs at upper elevations are the main concern.
A bit of new snow combined with moderate to strong southerly ridgetop winds have likely built fresh new thin wind slabs in exposed terrain.
There has been no new avalanche activity reported in the past few days.
If you are heading into the backcountry, please share any observations with the Mountain Information Network.
5 to 10 cm of new snow falling Monday has likely been redistributed by south and west winds in exposed terrain.
There are a couple of layers of surface hoar/facets or a crust that may be buried 20 to 45 cm deep. These layers have been mostly dormant, but they may become possible to trigger in isolated areas where enough of a slab forms overtop.
The remainder of the snowpack is well consolidated.
