{"blocks":[{"key":"amji","text":"Since Friday, the mountains picked up another 25-40 cm of cold, light snow. Slab avalanches may remain sensitive to triggering where the new snow has been drifted by wind or where it remains poorly bonded to the old snow. Cold temperatures will likely delay how long it takes for the new snow to form a bond with previous surfaces, which include preserved powder and wind-packed snow at upper elevations and a rain crust near and below treeline. ","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"2jfta","text":"Moderate to strong south winds have had an ample supply of light, cold snow to drift into reactive slabs. Winds are forecast to shift to the north and decrease to light, which may have the potential to create an unusual  cross-loading or reverse-loading pattern in wind-exposed areas. Start simple and gather information as you go. Monitor for changing slab conditions as you move into wind-exposed terrain and assess the bond of the new and old snow interface. Seek out softer conditions in wind-sheltered areas.

This layer is slowly transitioning from stubborn to unreactive as the snow above stiffens and makes it harder to trigger. This problem is particularly hard to predict and tricky to manage.
