Predominantly wind affected snow surfaces are found in the alpine. Wind-sheltered terrain may hold settled soft snow that can produce dry loose avalanches with skier traffic in steep terrain. Steep sun-exposed slopes will moisten with daytime warming and freeze into a hard melt-freeze crust overnight.
Cornices are large and looming at this time of year.
