Avalanche Summary

Field teams out in the spray noted no new avalanches with reasonable visibility

Snowpack Summary

Recent snow has settled to about 30cm at treeline and is becoming looser(facetted). Expect some recent windslabs in cross loaded gullies and isolated areas in the alpine. The Jan 30 interface is still a question in terms of location and character. It mostly seems to be either a melt/freeze crust, facet layer, buried wind slab or surface hoar. The midpack is supportive in most places, but in rocky areas it has become very weak and "punchy" while walking.

Weather Summary

Sunday the temperatures start to cool of again with day time highs around -21. NW winds in the light range and no snow expected.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Wind slabs are most reactive during their formation.
  • Avoid freshly wind-loaded terrain features.
