Weather Forecast

Forecasted snow (10 to 15cm) to continue through the evening Sunday. SW winds with strong to extreme ridge top values, tapering off and shifting to northerly though Monday/Tuesday. Increasing pressure, blue skies and arctic temps by mid-week.

Snowpack Summary

New snow being re-distributed by moderate to strong SW winds, loading N to NE aspects on an already stressed facet interface down between 20 to 50cm. Hard windslab over a weak mid-pack, over an even weaker facet and depth hoar base to ground.

Avalanche Summary

Active avalanche cycle through the forecast region. Loading continuing though the night Sunday. Significant activity directly observed from Alpine and TL elevations between (2200m - 2500m) Saturday. No new observations Sunday due to poor visibility.

Confidence

Forecast snowfall amounts are uncertain on Sunday
