With forecast snow and wind, new snow soft slabs and sluffs will be the most widespread issue, on most aspects. Slides have the potential to take out snow from the last several disturbances. Many of the sunnier slopes have hard crusts beneath, which will make for good bed surfaces, allowing snow to move faster and further.

A layer of near surface facets and faceted graupel was buried by the Feb 20 -21 storm. The current series of storms is adding more weight and a denser slab on top of this facet layer. This will be our least predictable and most dangerous weak layer for the next few days - mostly on upper elevation northwest, north and northeasterly facing slopes. 2 groups in our Saturday Brighton 101 were already finding full ECT propagation on this layer. East, southeast and westerly facing slopes aren't all facet free - facet/crust sandwiches exist, especially at the upper elevations.
