Storm snow continues to settle and winds continue to stay away. Watch carefully for winds picking up, and areas that have an existing soft slab.
These are settling, but it won't take much to reverse that progress if winds pick up. There's also a possibility of stepping down to the Mar 7th crust on south aspects.
Morning low of -22, high of -10 with light could. No snow expected. Winds 20km/hr NW at tree line.
More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.
Looks like a few more large avalanches released last night. SE face of Mt. Shark and Tent Ridge both went in the sz 3 range. The Tent Ridge avalanche may have happened today, it was partially filled in.
Recent storm snow has settled to about 40cm at treeline with a total snow depth of 210-245cm. North aspects are tightening up well with the cooler temperatures. Mar 7th doesn't seem to exist, but the Feb 14th is still noticeable down about 110cm. South aspects have a couple of crusts worth looking at before committing to open areas. What we call the Mar 7th is down 80cm. Its a centimeter thick and prominent. Interestingly, in tests there was a layer of facets 5cm above the crust that was reliably failing in the moderate range. Worth investigating when you're out and about.
