Lo esencial

http://www.pc.gc.ca/apps/scond/Cond_E.asp?oID=15678&oPark=100092A deep natural and human induced avalanche cycle continues. An increase in avalanches is expected Saturday with warming and increased sun. Watch for overhead hazard. Please avoid all avalanche terrain.

    Watch for daytime warming and areas receiving large amounts of sun. avalanches may run full path and affect valley bottoms and trails crossing avalanche runouts.

Weather Forecast

A warming trend and increased sunshine on Saturday will likely trigger natural avalanches. Sudden loading of solar avalanches on deep instabilities may trigger large slab avalanches. Forecasted cooling on Sunday is expected to reduce the natural avalanche hazard but human triggered avalanches will still be likely.

Snowpack Summary

Strong winds have created widespread windslabs on lee aspects (N-SE) and stripped all the snow off windward aspects in the alpine and near treeline. It will be take a while for these basal weaknesses to strengthen. Conditions remain prime for human triggering.

Avalanche Summary

Avalanche control yesterday on Bourgeau and Vermillion produced several large avalanches up to size 3.5. Impressive propagations up to 500 m and crowns as deep as 2 m. The avalanche cycle continued today with small to large fresh avalanches reported.

Confidence

Freezing levels are uncertain on Saturday
