Two feet of fresh snow has put a good load on our buried persistent weak layer. Mid and upper elevation slopes facing N and E have been continuously loaded by SW winds for the duration of the storm. With the combination of wind transported snow and heavy snow fall I would expect a natural cycle to be happening in the high country. We have had zero visibility the last few days, but when things clear I am expecting to see some slides. We should see some natural activity after tomorrow if the weather forecast delivers as promised. If we get the forecasted amounts I'm anticipating High danger for mid and upper elevation slopes facing NW through E. The danger will depend on the timing of the storm, but we should start out with considerable danger rising to high as the storm progresses.

Plenty of fresh snow available for transport and SW winds have not let up for the entire storm. Be on the lookout for fresh drifts on all aspects mid and upper elevation and especially slopes that face N and E.
