{"blocks":[{"key":"do1lu","text":"New snow and wind will likely build reactive storm slabs through Friday. In exposed areas, strong to extreme winds will strip many areas back down to the early December curst and create deposits of hard wind slab in lees. This wind loading may be lower down on slopes than you may expect as a result of the high wind values.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"cp3tk","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"94vbh","text":"Below this new snow, a layer of more consolidated snow sits over a substantial crust that formed in early December. This crust is up to 20 cm thick and is present across all aspects below 2400 m. Up to 10 cm of faceting has been reported above this crust. This problem is particularly hard to predict and tricky to manage. For this reason, wide conservative terrain margins and disciplined backcountry travel techniques will be very important.
