    Expect these slabs to slowly break down with the cold. Thin spots will facet(weaken) quicker and become more and more likely to be a trigger as the cold snap goes on.

Weather Forecast

The forecast is saying-25C overnight, warming up to -12 by 3pm. We have noticed an inversion lately, so expect that to continue. No snow, partly cloudy skies and no snow tomorrow. Fingers crossed for a few flurries later in the week.

Avalanche Summary

Nothing new today.

Snowpack Summary

Widespread wind effect is the major theme for the next while. Until we get more snow, the windslabs will be a problem. The good news is that the cold temps are helping to break them down and the snow stability is fairly good given the widespread nature of the slabs. If the cold does last, remember to check in on the deeper layers as they will start to break down and become weaker.

Terrain and Travel

  • Be careful with wind slabs, especially in steep, unsupported and/or convex terrain features.
  • Avoid areas where the snow feels stiff and/or slabby.
