    35cm of storm snow from last week has formed a slab overlying a weak facetted snowpack. Field teams have found decomposed surface hoar with sudden planar test results in isolated locations at tree line. This is the key interface to assess.

Weather Forecast

Snow, heaviest overnight and through Saturday morning with 10+ cm possible.  This storm is coming in hard and fast with moderate and strong S-ly winds. Temps dip into Sunday and then a significant warming trend into early next week.

Snowpack Summary

Buried and new wind slab formed at tree-line and above on North-Easterly aspects below ridge crests and cross-loaded terrain. These slabs are loading a weak and facetted mid-pack that has a layer of concern down about 60cm at the interface between old facets and new snow. Isolated pockets of decomposing surface hoar at tree-line down 40cm.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches reported
