{"blocks":[{"key":"4ihnn","text":"Bands of localized precipitation are forecast to bring another 10-20 cm of snow to the mountains by late Monday. A shift in wind direction from the southwest to southeast may form fresh wind slabs in a tricky cross-loading pattern at upper elevations. It may be possible to trigger wind slabs in lee terrain features, such as down-wind of ridges and roll-overs. Pay attention to conditions that change with exposure to wind and monitor for cracking or drum-like sounds.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"a1d1d","text":"An impressive storm over the weekend brought 40-70 cm of new snow to the mountains with strong southwest winds. Below the storm snow (down 60-100 cm), there is a layer of weak facets (sugary snow) above a crust that formed in early December. Over the weekend, snowpack tests at upper treeline elevations produced sudden results at this interface (see this, this, and this MIN report). On Sunday, operators reported large, explosive-triggered avalanches releasing on this layer in alpine start zones. This persistent slab problem warrants careful evaluation and conservative route-finding as the recent snow consolidates into a more cohesive slab over the weak layer.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[{"offset":351,"length":4,"key":0},{"offset":357,"length":4,"key":1},{"offset":367,"length":4,"key":2}],"data":{}},{"key":"78sb8","text":"With this storm event, a greater number of areas below treeline are meeting the threshold snow depth for avalanches.
