Weather Forecast

Wednesday will be a similar day to tuesday in that skies will be clear, temps will be slightly cooler and no new snow is expected.  Now is the time to sacrifice some skis through the wood chipper to try and annoy mother nature and encourage some new snow!!!

Avalanche Summary

No new natural avalanche activity.

Snowpack Summary

Winds increased in the afternoon on Tuesday and the few cm of snow blew around returning the region to its moonscaped look.  Hard slabs that will fail in the facets overlying the October crust is the main concern at this time.  As the snowpack get the hollow feeling, especially in steeper or unsupported terrain such as between the pitches of ice climbs be heads up.  Low doesn't mean no...  Avalanches can still occur with human triggerring in certain areas.
