Glacier

Great skiing can be found in sheltered areas in the alpine!

Be sure to evaluate your line for wind slab reactivity. 

Cooling temps and an unstable airmass persist for another few days.

Tonight: Mainly clear. Alpine low -14*C, freezing level (fzl) at valley bottom. Light east wind.

Up high, mod-strong SW wind redistributed up to 15cm of new snow, which overlies a crust on all but N'ly alpine slopes where it's on settled dry snow.  Below treeline the spring snowpack has undergone several melt-freeze cycles. The March 30th melt-freeze crust is buried 30-70cm deep.

A skier triggered a small wind slab in a lee feature on the north side of Mt Cheops Saturday. Glide cracks have been on the move lately, with a size 2 glide slab avalanche from the S aspect of Mt. Tupper early on Saturday, a size 3 from S Mt. Tupper on Friday.
