- <p>Winds were strong on upper elevation ridgelines. Due to winds and visibility didn't spend much time there. Along more mid elevation ridgelines could find some shallow wind slabs, 6-10” deep, small and pockety. Would imagine they are considerably larger along upper elevation ridgelines. With continued wind and snow overnight would expect avalanche danger to be high tomorrow. </p> <p>Many areas have very weak snow and poor structure, but have been lacking a slab. With the forecasted new snow and continued wind I think we will get some naturals. </p>
