Primary Problem: Wind Slab
Bottom Line: There is plenty of weak snow, but in most places there isn’t enough of a slab on top to avalanche. Watch out for the isolated places where there are deeper drifts and an avalanche might be possible. If the snow comes in earlier and heavier than expected, the avalanche danger will quickly rise.
