Snowpack Discussion
5 to 15 cm of forecast snow may form small wind slabs on lee features below alpine ridgetops. The new snow overlies a crust on all aspects and elevations.
A widespread crust with facets above is down 60 to 110 cm. This layer is unlikely to human trigger in areas where a thick crust above the weak layer is present.
Avalanche Activity
A couple of naturally triggered wet slab avalanches up to size 2 were reported on sunny aspects on Tuesday.
