Lo esencial

Human triggered avalanches remain possible on specific slopes such as steep convex shaped wind-loaded features. Skiing is good in sheltered locations. Watch for frostbite as morning temperatures will be frigid.

    Carefully evaluate ridgetop transitions where winds have buffed the surface into a slab. It rests on the suspect surface hoar-surface facet layer 30cm down. Valley bottom winds have created slab pockets in exposed locations below treeline.

    The persistent slab overlies 2 main weaknesses that will not go away anytime soon. A decomposing surface hoar-surface facet layer 30cm down and thick layer of basal facets-depth hoar. Its spatial variability makes it difficult to predict.

Weather Forecast

Sunday into Monday will be mostly dry and cold into the minus twenties overnight. Winds will be light from North. Sun will hopefully help by bringing warmer afternoon temperatures.

Snowpack Summary

Approximately 30cm of windslab or softslab, depending on aspect and elevation, is overtop a combo facet-decomposing surface hoar layer. This is most prevalent treeline into the lower alpine elevations. Below tree line there is a supportive yet shallow mid-pack over facets-depth hoar. Alpine is a variety of layers but generally all well bridged.

Avalanche Summary

No new natural avalanches were observed or reported.
