Avalanche Summary

A few loose dry avalanches on solar aspects up to sz 1. 

Weather Forecast

Sunday is looking similar to Saturday but perhaps just a bit more wind at the upper elevations and cloud. Be sure to check the weather stations as there have been weak inversions the past few days with upper elevation temps 10deg C warmer than the valley floor.

Snowpack Summary

Surface hoar growth and surface facetting is widespread below 2000m due to the cold temperatures and clear nights. Otherwise the upper snowpack is generally low density with a well settled midpack. Concerns regarding the basal facets and crusts will be with us for the season so we will almost always be telling people to avoid travelling in thinner shallow snowpack areas especially in steeper terrain.  

Terrain and Travel

  • Avoid areas where the snow feels stiff and/or slabby.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation and wind exposure.
