    A layer of facets over this weakness will be most easily triggerred from a thinner snowpack area.

Confidence

Good

Weather Forecast

Temps and the freezing levels are forecast to drop tomorrow but unfortunately, there is noooooooo snow in the forecast. Skiing, well....  ugh...  I wouldnt use my skis!

Avalanche Summary

Limited observations today, but loose wet avalanches are expected to have been ongoing in very steep terrain.

Snowpack Summary

Tiny bits of snow fell over the past 24hrs but generally nothing is changing.  Warm temps are continuing to settle out the snowpack and the winds from last week defiantly have made a mark on the region. There has been no freeze below 2000m for some time now and as a result the snow pack is sufferring.  Above this elevation, persistent slabs overlying the Nov 6th crust and the Nov24th crust are being observed.  There are failing in the moderate range and are most susceptible to triggerring from a thin snow pack area.
