Avalanche danger
Wind slabs will form above 1800 metres elevation over the next 24 hours. Any new snow will be transported to south aspects today, with loading occurring on north aspects tomorrow. The winds shift direction overnight, tending south, with reverse loading likely. The locations of these deposits will be near sheltering terrain features, such as rocky outcrops along ridgelines that act as catchments. At the lower elevations, the new snow is likely to be wet, increasing bonding properties. Wind slab failure on steep, unsupported slopes, likely above 2300 metres elevation.
