Wind slab avalanches and cornice falls may be possible on drifted upper elevation slopes due to incessant westerly winds, but we found no such problems in the Bunch Grass Area. Rain on 2/4 created a second crust, with only an inch or two of graupel and rimed snow on the surface. Although drifting was visibly occurring, we found no fresh drifts... We did not venture near any of the large cornices, which have grown significantly in the past week or so.

We found a Low danger at upper elevations where the snow is deeper than about 4'. Perhaps a Moderate danger, with persistent slabs possible at mid elevations where the shallow and weak snow was moistened by rain on 2/4... Cooling will help to solidify the moist snow and I expect increasing stability in the next couple days.
