Kernpunkte

Remember that avalanches are still possible at low. Don't turn the radar off!! The northern portion of the region (Tent RIdge) still deserves some assessment before launching.

    There are some soft slabs near lee areas which are ranking low on a hazard scale for the moment. The more concerning slabs are down 20-40cm and limited to ridge crests. These are worth tracking as you travel just to keep an eye on their reactivity.

Avalanche Summary

Nothing new was seen today

Snowpack Summary

No new snow or wind to speak of. In fact, tracks from yesterday were still fresh and clear in the alpine. The alpine snowpack is showing no sign of any significant windslab. Occasionally one can be felt buried underneath the top 30cm, but these are often small and isolated to ridgecrests. Treeline is a similar condition. Loose dry snow in almost all areas. One thing that was noticed today was a buried windslab where the down flow (cold air settling), wind prone areas. Probing will reveal this layer. Below treeline there's been no change. Some surface hoar developed yesterday in valley bottom areas. Snow depths are: Burstall Pass 106cm, Mud Lake 80cm
