Last week's few inches of new snow will have mostly likely become weak, sugary and faceted and sits on varying thicknesses of melt freeze crust where snow exists at all. If we see more now and wind than expected, human triggered avalanches will be probable and may be triggered at a distance. This will be confined to areas with pre-existing snow and predominantly in the upper elevation northwest to northeast facing terrain. Collapsing and cracking are immediate signs of instability. Watch for rapidly changing conditions by midday into the afternoon hours: caution should be observed.
