Wind slabs are still forming, but remain very isolated in couloirs and depressions. Remain vigilant with regard to obstacles that are generally not buried.

Insufficient observations exist to reliably rate the avalanche danger. Expect shallow snow cover with buried rocks, trees, and stumps hidden just beneath the surface. Avalanche danger will be most likely in gullies and other areas where wind has deposited snow and created slabs that are often poorly bonded to a weak base.

Travel and Terrain Advice

  • Wind slabs are most reactive during their formation.
  • Use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where even small avalanches may have severe consequences.
  • Watch for areas of hard wind slab on alpine features.
  • Be cautious of buried obstacles, especially below treeline.
