Yesterday a large storm impacted the region bringing upwards of 80 cm of new snow. The associated strong to extreme winds have built deep deposits of slab in wind exposed areas. In sheltered areas, this new snow fell on a weak layer of near surface facets. The poor bond to the underlying surface means a touchy loose dry or storm slab problem may persist.
