Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were observed.

Snowpack Summary

There should be 5-10cm of new snow by Tuesday morning for up to 20cm of snow in the past 48hrs. This amount can vary quite a bit and be very localized with the convective Spring storms, so use your mountain sense and evaluate each area carefully. The two main things to keep an eye out for are: 

1) Newly formed wind slabs, especially near ridge lines and lee features.

 2) Sluffing in steep terrain with the new snow as well as spindrift off higher cliffs.

If the sun is out, expect the new snow to change quickly on solar aspects.

Terrain and Travel

  • Closely monitor how the new snow is bonding to the crust.
  • Be carefull with sluffing in steep terrain, especially above cliffs and terrain traps.
