Wind slabs: Yesterday’s strong winds eroded snow, but drifts were small, isolated and not very sensitive to skis. There is concern that some of the various winds slabs from the week's multiple wind events are sitting on weak snow, and could be triggered by a person. Identify and avoid wind slabs on steep slopes - mountain terrain channels the wind in odd ways, so look for these hard, rounded, hollow sounding wind slabs or drifts on a variety of aspects and elevations. They will be on the lee sides of ridge crests and around terrain features, like gully walls, sub ridges and down into open bowls at both the mid and upper elevations.
