- <p>Considerable hazard from Fresh wind slabs lurking in the higher elevations especially below the ridgeline. Increasing hazard during the upcoming storm event predicted for Xmas day.</p>
The 10 cm or so of graupel sitting atop the burly rain crust from the last storm was being worked by the wind in to a patch-work of exposed, slick crust and pockets of wind transported snow making skiing rather challenging.
