Enough new snow has fallen over the past few days to produce Loose Dry avalanches in steep terrain. Use caution in exposed or confined features where small avalanches can have high consequences.
Up to 30cm of new snow with convective flurries and favorable SW winds have redistributed the low density, new snow over previous surfaces such as hard windslab and varied crusts at TL/ALP elevations. The snow pack varies throughout the region from strong supportive snow in deeper areas to weak facetted snow in the shallow areas.
No new avalanche activity observed or reported today. A small few loose dry avalanches were triggered by skiers in steep alpine terrain
The next few days will see varied conditions though the region. Winds will be calm to light from the south. Light precip can be expected of the next couple days until Saturday evening where up to 15cm is forecasted.
