Watch for fresh wind slabs on steep slopes in the alpine and at treeline
The best riding will be in sheltered terrain
Watch for wind slabs near ridgelines and mid slope rollovers, small amounts of new snow Sunday night and Monday may build fresh and reactive slabs.
No new avalanches have been reported since Friday, when several natural storm slabs were reported on north and west aspects in the alpine and at treeline.
Reports are limited but this suggests conditions are improving and reactivity may linger in specific features.
30 to 50 cm wind affected snow sits at the surface.
A surface hoar layer is now buried 40 to 70 cm deep. This layer is spotty and hard to find. It may be found and triggerable in very sheltered treeline and alpine features. Where there isn't surface hoar, there is likely a crust.
There are no current concerns deeper in the snowpack. HS at treeline measures 120-150 cm.
Sunday Night
Mostly cloudy, up to 5 cm of snow. 30 to 40 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.
Monday
Mostly cloudy with up to 8 cm of snow. 20 to 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.
Tuesday
Mostly cloudy with up to 10 cm of snow. 40 to 50 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.
Wednesday
A mix of sun and cloud 40 to 50 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.
