Kernpunkte

Warm temperatures and constant weather are helping to stabilize the snowpack, but it will take more time to bridge and strengthen the snowpack over the weak basal layers near the ground.

    Cornice failures or skier travel in shallow snowpack areas are likely ways to trigger this deep weakness in the snowpack.

Weather Forecast

No significant changes in the forecast. Temperatures will remain warm, with light south winds. Up to 5 cm of snow in the next 2 days.

Snowpack Summary

The Feb 13th rain crust lies underneath a melt-freeze crust up to 2000m elevation. The melt-freeze crust goes up to 2200m.  A mixture of rounded and facetted layers are sandwiched between these upper layers and the weak depth hoar/ facets prevalent in the lower snowpack down to ground.
