Kernpunkte

Continually assess conditions as you move through terrain.

Wind slabs may still exist on high north facing terrain and wet loose avalanches could be triggered on steep, sunny slopes.

    Wet loose avalanches are possible on isolated, steep sun exposed terrain features.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.
  • We are uncertain about how the timing or intensity of solar radiation will affect the snowpack.

Avalanche Summary

On Thursday and Friday, a few small dry and wet loose avalanches were observed. These avalanches were in steep, rocky terrain on north and east aspects. One of these avalanches was skier triggered and the others were naturally triggered.

Observations have been limited in this region. Thanks to those who have filled out Mountain Information Network reports.

Snowpack Summary

20 to 40 cm of recent storm snow, accompanied by southerly wind, has buried a thick crust on all aspects and elevations except high north. The crust may be on the surface on south and west slopes and deeper deposits may be found on north and east aspects. The snow surface will become moist on sun exposed slopes during the day on Sunday.

The remainder of the snowpack is well bonded.

The snowpack depth at treeline ranges from 90 to 170 cm. The snowpack depth tapers rapidly below treeline, especially on south aspects.

Weather Summary

Saturday Night
Clear skies. 10 km/h north ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Sunday
Mostly sunny. 10 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

Monday
Mostly cloudy. 5 to 15 cm of snow. 20 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Tuesday
Mostly cloudy. 1 to 5 cm of snow. 20 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Pay attention to isolated wind affected features in the alpine, as well as cross-loaded features at treeline.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation and sun exposure.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Be aware of the potential for loose avalanches in steep terrain where snow hasn't formed a slab.
