    Windslabs can be found in the alpine along ridgelines and in gullied terrain. Watch for these slabs overlying a crust on solar aspects.

Weather Forecast

Have I said this before? Another chilly night coming our way, forecasts vary but the overnight low could be between -16 & -20 with a high of -8. No snow, partly cloudy skies and light variable winds.

Avalanche Summary

Nothing was noted today.

Snowpack Summary

Valley bottom is a typical spring snowpack with several crusts offering good travel. At about 2250m the crusts start to peter out and the snow pack feels much more wintery. On south aspects the crusts continue much higher, but on the more polar aspects the crusts eventually give way to a well settled snow pack with isolated windslabs in immediate lee areas.

Terrain and Travel

  • Recent wind has varied in direction so watch for wind slabs on all aspects.
  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind affected terrain.
