New snow is rapidly setting into storm slab.
New snow is setting into a reactive Storm slab/Wet slab/Loose wet that has the potential to be destructive and run far. Friday is a good day to avoid avalanche terrain.
New snow is rapidly setting into storm slab.
Wet loose avalanches may initiate the deeper weak layers.
Watch for wet slab avalanches to step down to the weaker basal layers and going full depth to ground.
A natural Loose wet cycle was observed over the past 24hrs on all aspects.
Up to 60cm of recent storm snow has settled fast with the warmer temperatures and is quickly settling into a reactive storm and or wet slab. This snow is overlying a variety of surfaces from crusts on solar aspects to dry snow on steep northern polar aspects. When the sun comes out, we are expecting a natural avalanche cycle to occur.
The storm is finally ending and we are looking to return to back to spring, hopefully for the last time! Skies will begin to clear on Friday and winds will be light. The freezing level is forecast to be around 2300m and rising to 2600m on Saturday.
