Eventually all green bricks must come to an end. Plan on the hazard elevating with the increased winds and new snow starting Sunday afternoon and continuing into next week
Keep an eye out for sporadic weak layers within the snowpack. These layers may be present in a form of buried surface hoar, facet interfaces, thin to fat areas and/or sun crust.
Sunday: Flurries. Accumulation: 9 cm. Alpine temperature: High -4 °C. Ridge wind south: 15-35 km/h. Freezing level: 1600 metres.
Monday: Periods of snow. Accumulation: 18 cm. Alpine temperature: Low -6 °C, High -3 °C. Ridge wind south: 15 km/h gusting to 40 km/h.
Tuesday: Flurries. Accumulation: 6 cm. High -5 °C. wind occasionally gusting to 35 km/h.
Alpine is either stripped of snow completely or offers a variety of wind affected surfaces. Surface faceting continues with cooler temperatures. Strong mid-pack overlies generally supportive basal layers. Decomposing surface hoar is found down 40cm to 80cm in isolated sheltered locations, in the very southern parts of the park.
Field team reports no new avalanche activity observed.
