10cm of snow forecast for Monday afternoon should refresh the skiing. Be on the lookout for new wind slabs. 

Monday will be cooler with light snow. The morning will start off with strong SW winds and flurries. By midday, the winds will calm down and the flurries will turn to snow. Expect 5cm of snow by late afternoon for a total of 10cm by late evening. Temperatures for Monday will be in between -5c and -10c.

Nothing new to report.

Expect a mix of recent snow and new wind slabs in the alpine. The forecast snow will most likely be low density with the cooler temperatures, so expect some sluffing in steeper terrain. The two main things to keep an eye out for is for new snow accumulation and the formation of new wind slabs. With Spring time, the weather can change quickly and the snowfall can sometimes be far more than forecast and be very localized. The same goes if the sun comes out in between snow squalls; it can make the snow change quickly, especially on solar aspects. Use your mountain sense and evaluate each area carefully. 

• Wind slabs may be poorly bonded to the underlying crust.
• Closely monitor how the new snow is bonding to the crust.
• Be carefull with sluffing in steep terrain, especially above cliffs and terrain traps.
