Cracking and whumpfing indicated these slabs are very reactive to skiers as well as natural avalanche activity.

The basal layers are very weak. New snow and strong winds will overload the weak base and we are expecting a natural avalanche to continue.

Weather Forecast
Forecasts are calling for an additional 30-50cm of snow over the next 24 hrs with warmer temps and high winds. Natural avalanches and human triggered avalanches are likely.
Avalanche Summary
Visibility was limited all day and forecasters never got a good look into most start zones. As a result, no avalanche activity was observed.
Snowpack Summary
15-20cm of snow has fallen over the past 24hrs in the alpine with associated strong winds. New windslabs are building in all open terrain that are reactive to skier traffic. These windslabs are also failing naturally. As the new snow falls the weak base will continue to be overloaded and we are expecting a natural avalanche cycle to begin over the next 24hrs. Friday will be a good day to avoid avalanche terrain.
