With the Winds continuing to transport significant amounts of the light density snow that is available, the biggest Avalanche Problem observed today was Wind Slab. The highest elevation terrain appears to be the most effected, but as stated above Ridgelines at 9800 feet were definitely getting loaded on the Northerly facing aspects and Starting Zones.

In any areas that continue to receive even high end Light velocity Winds, this problem will continue to increase as the pre-existing weak snowpack will struggle to adjust to any new loads.

At this point, only the due South terrain that was dirt before Saturday (and is now crusting) is where a variety of PWL's may not exist. DH, SH, NSF's, and NCF's can be found on almost all other aspects; and as stated above the R and R that is occurring on S and SSW aspects is helping set up even more Crust Facet Sandwiches on these aspects. Thursdays potential event may add enough weight and load (especially in areas that are receiving any Wind Loading) to produce a significant Natural Avalanche Cycle. And, even at this point, all observations from the BC indicate that there is a propensity for propagation on almost all shady steep aspects and terrain.

It appears that we are locked into a High Consequence Moderate Danger right now with the Considerable or greater around the corner if the forecast verifies.
