Sheltered areas still offer good skiing. Be mindful of the cold temps. Even a minor injury or equipment problem can turn into a serious emergency at -30C.
Some new surface wind slab have formed in terrain above 2300m. There are also buried wind slabs that could be more sensitive to triggering in steep and unsupported terrain.
Isolated sluffing in extreme Alpine terrain up to size 1.0. Otherwise no other avalanche observations.
Previous storm snow has settled to between 20 and 30cm at treeline. Expect some recent wind slabs 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/sking.
Monday will be mainly sunny with a cold start (near -31C!!!), and a high of -18C. Winds will be light from the North with no precipitation expected.
