Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were reported on Wednesday.

A few small, wet loose avalanches were reported on Monday. As well as some large cornices failing naturally.

Snowpack Summary

The upper snowpack consists of:

  • Thin sun-crusts on steep slopes facing the sun.

  • Large surface hoar growing in sheltered spots

  • Sugary facets near the surface from large day-night temperature swings.

A second crust is buried 60 to 100 cm deep and may have a layer of surface hoar sitting above it. Recent tests show this layer as unreactive.

The remainder of the mid and lower snowpack is well-settled.

Snow depths at treeline are roughly 100 to 150 cm.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.
