Lo esencial

Be vigilant regarding the persistent weak layer down 30cm. If the upper snow pack starts to become more cohesive due to warmer temperatures or winds, it could wake up and start producing avalanches.

    Marmot Basin Ski area reports surface hoar extending into some alpine features. Solar crust on south aspects is also of concern. Dig and assess this layer before committing to terrain. Lots of whumpfing and shooting cracks have been observed on this layer across Jasper but no avalanches have been observed yet.
