Kernpunkte

Assess terrain carefully and practice good group management

The best riding may be on the same features where triggering an avalanche is most likely

Lawinenprobleme

  • Wind Slabs

    Small, rider triggerable wind slabs may still be found at higher elevations.

    This layer remains a concern in high terrain where the snowpack depth is variable or a cornice hangs above the slope.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

We have not received reports of slab avalanches since last week but observations in this region are limited.

Snowpack Summary

A new crust likely exists on the surface except on high north facing terrain, where up to 20 cm of snow overlies a crust from earlier in March.

A layer of facets and surface hoar from late January can be found down 50 to 120 cm.

The lower snowpack contain several crusts that are not concerning.

Mostly cloudy with 5 to 15 mm of mixed precipitation. 30 to 50 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Freezing level rising to 1700 m.

Sunday

Cloudy with up to 5 mm of mixed precipitation. 40 to 70 km/h south ridgetop wind. Freezing level rising to 1800 m.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Use extra caution around cornices: they are large, fragile, and can trigger slabs on slopes below.
  • Avoid shallow, rocky areas where the snowpack transitions from thick to thin.
